run level. oracle,Run Level Verification Check Failed: Installing 11g R2 on OEL 5.5 — oracle-tech

Greetings,

I'm encountering a problem installing Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.1.0), 64-bit on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.5 x86-64.

The Installer bombs out fairly quickly with:

[FATAL] [INS-13013] Target environment do not meet some mandatory requirements.

CAUSE: Some of the mandatory prerequisites are not met. See logs for details. /opt/oracle/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/installActions2010-10-21_03-19-22PM.log

The installActions log shows:

INFO: *********************************************

INFO: Run Level: This is a prerequisite condition to test whether the system is running with proper run level.

INFO: Severity:CRITICAL

INFO: OverallStatus:OPERATION_FAILED

INFO: -----------------------------------------------

I've encountered this with the default run level set to both 3 and 5:

[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/inittab | grep :initdefault:

id:3:initdefault:

[[email protected] ~]$ cat /etc/inittab | grep :initdefault:

id:5:initdefault:

What gives? I'm having trouble finding documentation to support this; however, I had thought I had read somewhere at one time that the default run level for Linux (RHEL or OEL) must be either 3 or 5 for an Oracle RDBMS Install.

Any suggestions or input would be most gratefully received.
