    Pulled this off of an Oracle support site...

    8.1.7 on AIX 5L Information

    AIX 5L introduces the option to run the kernel in 64-bit mode. This new
    mode is supported. Please refer to MetaLink note 231901.1

    Warning about missing "crash" during installation of Oracle 8i.
                The error message "crash: not found" may appear during
    execution of rootpre.sh (installs loadext) on AIX 5L. This warning may
    be ignored. Alternatively, the warning can be avoided by creating the
    following script and renaming it to "/usr/sbin/crash":

    #!/bin/ksh
    read input
    if [ X"$input" = Xle ]; then
     echo lke | /usr/sbin/kdb | \
     /usr/bin/awk '/^ *[0-9]+/ {printf("LoadList entry at 0x%s\n Name:
    %s\n\n",$2,$6)}
    fi

    Regards,

    Hi to all:
          We're installing SAP 4.6C & Oracle 8.1.7 32 bits in a P650
    machine,
    running AIX 5.2L.
          If I try to load the Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX by
    executing the command:

          /etc/loadext -l /etc/pw-syscall

          the following error is reported:

          Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX
          Copyright (c) 1998,1999 Oracle Corporation

          Kernel Extension Version: 3
          SYS_SINGLELOAD: Exec format error
          kmid: 0 (0x0)
          path: '/etc/pw-syscall'
          libpath: ''

          And the output of the following command:

           /etc/loadext -r

          is:

          Oracle Kernel Extension Loader for AIX
          Copyright (c) 1998,1999 Oracle Corporation

          sh: /usr/sbin/crash: not found.
          No Kernel Extension is currently running.

          We have asked to SAP support with no luck until now, we will try
    with
    Oracle, but if anybody in the list have the same environment and got the
    same problem any help will be very aprreciated.

     TIA and Regards

    David Ballester & Gabriel Bosch
