Hi Does anyone have Redhat 8 and is willing to install IBM v8 Personal Edition or have gotten Db2 V8 PE installed on Redhat 8 AND got it working? I followed the install install instruction it says do this, do that, check if it works but failed to mention what to do if it didnt - it just assumed that it would. well basically when i try to make a sample database it says "The database manager shared memory set cannot be allocated" I've got 512MB RAM and 510 swap - the requirement was 128MB got 10GB free HDD space i'm asking the same thing in some DB forums but they're quite arrogant and expect me to be as competent as a DB admin - if i was - i wouldnt be asking. Intel P4 2.6 @ 3.2 1GHz FSB Asus P4P800 2x256 Kingston DDR400 --->ATi Radeon 9800Pro 128MB<---

You probably haven't set kernel shared memory. The information you need is in this link: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/start/t0008238.htm
