This is a very generic message.
Post your oracle version, OS etc.
First check whether you have a proper (try to get along with OFA) directory structure and write permssions for
directories like

$ORACLE_BASE/admin/bdump
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/cdump
$ORACLE_BASE/admin/udump

check specifically the BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST directory
which by default should be $ORACLE_BASE/admin/bdump.
if there no privs on this directory, oracle cannot create the alert_< sid >.log .

if the above is all set, post only relevent part of the
alert_< sid >.log file.
POST compelete error messages!.

it is supposed to be something like this.
check whether you have your undo_tablespace defined and check whether it is right name~.

*.undo_management='AUTO'
*.undo_retention=10800
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

nothing~.
it means, the contents of redologfile are incomplete.
It will be all set after a while.
Just to make yourself happy, try this.

sql > alter system switch logfile;

Now query the status;
which redolog was currently used, the status will be cleared.
just switch the all the logfiles ~.
