Add the next line in the your kernel configuration file:
--------
options         "SHMMAX=(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)"
options         SHMMAXPGS=4097
-------
After that you are must recompile and install the kernel.

P.S. Linux kernel and Sybase SQL have some bug in handling/use 
fcntl/F_SETOWN  and ioctl/FIOSETOWN syscalls. And for install
stage you must poll the database engine with SIGIO signals, and
after install execute database engine from shells, whose create 
new process group for launching program, for example the tcsh do it.
