Cause : The MEMORY_TARGET parameter was not supported on this operating system or /dev/shm was not sized correctly on Linux.

I found that /dev/shm must be larger than what you are asking oracle to use for memory.
Ie. I made /dev/shm 16.5 GB
I asked oracle to use 16.4 GB and it failed.
…
I then asked oracle to use 16.0 GB and it worked?
Oh well.
