Oracle installer don't use kernel parameters a lot, this is usual JVM application.
The kernel parameters use only when
ORACLE INSTANCE STARTED and
Oracle begin to use latchs, enqueue and so on ... (access to common resources and shared memory)

First command in database creation process (doesn't matter this is manual installation
or with using database assistent)

create database ...

this command MUST execute sql.bsq script.
and we ussualy get problems with unix kernel parameters.
