The correct place to look for erorr was /var/log/messages.

here i found the error Module oracle ASM not found.

I did a rpm -qa grep oracleasm on the system and found 3 asm packages installed.

oracleasm-2.6.9-89.EL-2.0.5-1.el4.i686.rpm,

oracleasmlib-2.0.4-1.el4.i386.rpm,

oracleasm-support-2.1.3-1.el4.i386.rpm

The following package was missing --

oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELsmp-2.0.5-1.el4.i686.rpm

I installed the above given package with --

rpm -ivh oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELsmp-2.0.5-1.el4.i686.rpm

1:oracleasm-2.6.9-89.ELsm 100

afterwards again tried to configure Oracle ASM

answer will keep that current value. Ctrl-C will aborts.
