CKPT fails on startup with Error 220

[PaulinCT]

Hi

I have an NT 4 server which has just been through a hardware upgrade (extra CPU and extra RAM and new network card). The IP Config had to be re-setup and now the OracleServiceSID service startups up OK but the instance and database (version 8.1.6) fail to startup.

The Alert log contains the following :
CKPT: terminating instance due to error 220

The CKPT Trace file contains :

Any ideas on what may be wrong?

The problem was with one of my control files - when I removed it from the control_files list in my init.ora the database started up OK.

Yes the problem should be in your control files , but don't be afraid just copy the correct control file and rename in init.ora , all will be fine.
