You sure you are using the right (default) pfile on startup?

do this;
SQL> startup; [as you normaly would]
SQL> show parameter audit

???

Something got to be a miss on your end...or this would be a scary (documented)
bug?

Subject: Unable to create SPFILE.

I have started my Database with pfile and now want to create spfile.
I am using create spfile='location' from pfile;
When I see the audit parameters in pfile, it is AUDIT_TRAIL=DB,
but in SPFILE it is showing as AUDIT_TRAIL=OS, set previously but changed
now.
same with few other parameters.
I changed my init file, bounce DB with pfile and now creating spfile.
This is 9i with Solaris.
regards - chirag
