You know the feeling, your 10g or 11g database displays a warning message about your use of deprecated parameters at startup, but it doesn’t say which parameters are deprecated?
You could look through the manuals to find the list of all deprecated parameters then go hunting in your spfile/pfile for those and remove them, or, you could simply look in the alert.log
.

These databases were converted from 9.2.0.8 to 10g and 11g respectively. So, now you know what the deprecated parameters are, go fix them! ;-)
