Every time I'm trying start a database instance and I'm not connected to my home wireless network or wireless is disabled, this is what happens:

[mati@Mati-PC ~]$ sqlplus sys as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Oct 17 21:07:39 2011

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Enter password: 
Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [keltnfy-ldmInit], [46], [1], [], [], [], [], []
SQL>

I have googled the issue, checked /etc/hosts - everything seems OK, including permissions. I'm using Fedora 15.

Why is this happening?

Metalink Note 336447.1 addresses the problem. It appears to be related to the database server not being able to resolve your system's hostname due to DNS not being available.

Run a caching DNS server on your machine and verify all your DNS-related configuration files and their permissions as described in the note.

  • Problem solved. Apparently, I had to change the line in /etc/hosts "127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost" to " localhost.localdomain localhost", so it would reflect my hostname (in my case MATI-PC). – Mati Oct 17 '11 at 19:59
  • Yup, that'll do it. It becomes far more important to make sure your hosts file is accurate if you try and use any of Oracle's Fusion Middleware products. – Rob Oct 17 '11 at 20:11
