Server won't initialize

Hi, We seem to have a problem getting the server to initialize. We get an error shmat: [ENOMEM][12]: out of available data space, check system MAXMEM if we increase the amount of BUFFERS. I seem to get up to a limit of +- 120 MB shared memory although the machine has memory of 512 MB. I have set the kernel parameters as recommended by the machine notes as well as increasing the SHMMAX parameter (as recommended in a previous thread) to something really high with no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

What is SHMBASE set to?
