Oracle Database Discussions

I am working on SLES 11 SP2 on zLinux and I am trying to install oracle 11gr2 silently. I was able to install the GI and it is running but when I try to install the oracle binaries I keep getting this error:

[FATAL] [INS-32035] Unable to create a new central inventory directory : /opt/oraInventory.
CAUSE: The central inventory location provided is not empty.

The GI install created /opt/oraInventory and all the files are in there. I even changed the owner from grid:oinstall to oracle:oinstall but that did not help. When I did the install on SLES 11 SP1 I did not get this error.

I am running this command to install oracle: /runInstaller -silent -ignorePrereq -showProgress -waitForCompletion -responseFile /tmp/db_install.rsp
