Oracle 10g2 RAC on SLES 10

Dear Oracle DBAs and SLES 10 roots (I mean root users) !

I try to install a 2 node ORACLE cluster (version 10.2.0.1)
- in vmware
- the 32 bits version, on SLES 10 unpatched.
I tried to follow the docs from OTN - on different platform
(the RHAS) -
written by Vincent Chan.
After succesful instalation on SLES, ASM, OCFS2, the Oracle
Clusterware
10.2.0.1 falls badly in vipca utility,
 which tries tu run java jre 1.4.2_08 as it tries to run
with
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL = 2.4.19. I commented this part, as I know
it is not
supported any more. But it failes again.

Does someone has any experience on installing Oracle 10g2
RAC on SLES 10 ?
Can you share with community?.

>From Novell site I see that on SLES 10 there is no
mention about Oracle
RAC support or certification.

Maybe I should try instalation on SLES 9 ?

Thanks in advance !

Follow following trick, which I posted few months back in
this list:

1. Let Cluster Installation go through till "Cluster
Verification Utility" test fail
    It fails due to vipca

2. From another window as root comment out
"LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" in vipca

       #remove this workaround when the bug 3937317 is
fixed
       arch=`uname -m`
       #if [ "$arch" = "i686" -o
"$arch" = "ia64" -o "$arch" =
"x86_64" ]
       #then
       #    LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
       #   export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
       #fi
       #End workaround

Note: Make sure arch=`uname -m` is left as it's. 

3. run "oifcfg getif"
 You will get something like:
bond0  xx.xx.xx.0  global  public
bond1  10.1.1.0  global  cluster_interconnect

4. run "vipca" 

5. Go back and retry step 1 (Cluster Verification Utility)
portion.
