   Who owns /ora92/oradata/OraHome//dbs/lkabc?   
   Assuming your instance is called abc, your environment   
   should contain:   
   ORACLE_SID=abc   
   ORACLE_BASE=/ora92/???   
   PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:.:/ora92/????/bin   
   PWD=/opt/oracle/920/dbs   
   LANG=en_US.UTF-8   
   ORACLE_TERM=xterm   
   LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1   
   ORA_NLS33=/ora92/????/ocommon/nls/admin/data   
   ORACLE_HOME=/ora92/??????   
      
   My lk file is owned by the owner of the oracle process, oinstall.   
   You could try a shutdown, and startup again, or shutdown, delete   
   the abclk file, and startup.   
   What I find strange is the double // - doubt if it harms, though
