Satish,

The best approach would be to look in your alertSID.ora file for any
additional error messages. Also look in your trace directories for trace
files.

My best guess is that there still are memory semaphores associated with
your old database that are locking resources. To be sure, if you are on a
UNIX platform, type:

ipcs -a |grep oracle

You should do a SHUTDOWN ABORT to clear all memory processes, then try to
start up your database.
