8.1.7 on AIX 5L Information

AIX 5L introduces the option to run the kernel in 64-bit mode. This new
mode is supported. Please refer to MetaLink note 231901.1

Warning about missing "crash" during installation of Oracle 8i.
            The error message "crash: not found" may appear during
execution of rootpre.sh (installs loadext) on AIX 5L. This warning may
be ignored. Alternatively, the warning can be avoided by creating the
following script and renaming it to "/usr/sbin/crash":

#!/bin/ksh
read input
if [ X"$input" = Xle ]; then
 echo lke | /usr/sbin/kdb | \
 /usr/bin/awk '/^ *[0-9]+/ {printf("LoadList entry at 0x%s\n Name:
%s\n\n",$2,$6)}
fi

Hi to all:
      We're installing SAP 4.6C & Oracle 8.1.7 32 bits in a P650
machine,
running AIX 5.2L.
      If I try to load the Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX by
executing the command:

      /etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall

      the following error is reported:

      Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX
      Copyright (c) 1998,1999 Oracle Corporation

      Kernel Extension Version: 3
      SYS_SINGLELOAD: Exec format error
      kmid: 0 (0x0)
      path: '/etc/pw-syscall'
      libpath: ''

      And the output of the following command:

       /etc/loadext -r

      is:

      Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX
      Copyright (c) 1998,1999 Oracle Corporation

      sh: /usr/sbin/crash: not found.
      No Kernel Extension is currently running.

      We have asked to SAP support with no luck until now, we will try
with
Oracle, but if anybody in the list have the same environment and got the
same problem any help will be very aprreciated.

 TIA and Regards

David Ballester & Gabriel Bosch
