CAUSE

This is caused due to Bug 17475946 - ROOT.SH OR ACFSROOT INSTALL, FAILS: ACFS-9109: ORACLEOKS.KO DRIVER FAILED and this is fixed in 12c.
 

SOLUTION

 Apply the patch 17475946 and rerun the root.sh.

Workaround:

1. Get the driver version

oragrid@test:/opt/app/oragrid/home> uname -a
Linux test 3.0.74-0.6.8.1.5506.2.PTF-default #1 SMP Wed May 15 07:26:33 UTC 2013 (5e244d7) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
oragrid@test:/opt/app/oragrid/home>

oragrid@test:/opt/app/oragrid/home> /opt/app/oragrid/soft/11.2.0.4.0/bin/acfsdriverstate version
ACFS-9325:     Driver OS kernel version = 3.0.61-0.9-default(x86_64).
ACFS-9326:     Driver Oracle version = 130707.

2. Before running root.sh from all nodes:

a. Remove or rename the directory

$cd /opt/app/oragrid/soft/11.2.0.4.0/install/usm/Novell/SLES11/x86_64

$rm -rf 3.0.61-0.9

or rename the directory as $mv 3.0.61-0.9 3.0.61-0.9_back

b. Create link to the kernel version[Here the kernel version is 3.0.74-0.6, change it to your kernel version accordingly]

$ln -s 3.0.13-0.27 3.0.74-0.6

3. After the above, re run the root.sh.
