Script /etc/init.d/dbora recommended in the article "Oracle 10gR2
installation on RHEL AS 4" at
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/...nRedHatAS4.php
might cause your system to hang during boot up. Please, be advised, that instructions regarding automatic startup and shutdown Oracle 10gR2 on RHEL AS 4.X suggested by [email protected] are valid only for non-ASM databases
Just read carefully the comments to $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart:-
# If ASM instances are to be started with this script, it cannot
# be used inside an rc*.d directory, and should be invoked from
# rc.local only. Otherwise, the CSS service may not be available
# yet, and this script will block init from completing the boot
# cycle.
