I have had this same problem, but I figured it out. The problem is not
an XFS problem, per se. The problem has to do with the permissions
problems that the 1.0.1 XFS installer created.
A fix-perms script was released to this list. Make sure you run it. It
fixes the errors that are causing runInstaller to fail.
Make sure that you follow all the instructions in the install guide, but
here is the short version:
As the oracle user, type:
Export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
. /usr/i386-glibc21-linux/bin/i386-glibc21-linux-env.sh
Then you can run ./runInstaller. If you have done the above three
steps, Oracle will install properly.
Incidentally, you do not need to download and install the IBM jdk unless
you are installing the Oracle HTTP Server.
The above information on the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL and the
i386-glibc21-linux-env came from the RedHat 7.1 release notes. The IBM
jdk info is from the Oracle Installation Guide. The fix-perms script
was released to the list a couple of weeks ago. If you cannot get a
copy of it, e-mail me and I will send it to you. If you have any more
questions, feel free to e-mail me.

I had already gone through that. One thing that did help is the
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL bit. But, it still won't run properly. I agree that
it's
not an XFS issue..but I wasn't sure and wanted to come here for
confirmation
as well. Anyone running this type of config on an SMP machine and has it
working, I'd like to talk to that person.
