QDX 5.3 Rev2 Fresh install on Red Hat 3 ES

Gui comes up and lock manager will start, but

hcisitectle -s m produces the error

Virtual Memory is too full; must be less than nan

hcimonitord failed to execute properly.

QDX Support provided us with the following kernel reccomendations

/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax – 2147483648

/proc/sys/kernel/sem – 250

  And how much swap space do you have?
  
  Redhat recommends 1.5 to 2.0 x installed memory (RHEL4 — not sure about RHEL3).
