Perhaps you should read through DOC 263809.1. It's for a manual upgrade, but sort of explains what's going on behind the scenes of the GUI upgrade and why and when the db gets started. The section on the listener is not helpful at all...the new listener starts the old db...
For your error I've found in the Oracle 9.2 Migration guide the drs_start setting is deprecated in favor of a different setting: DG_BROKER_START.
Try putting this in the init.ora file instead of drs_start...
Here is the description of the new setting:
DG_BROKER_START
Parameter type
Boolean
Default value
false
Parameter class
Dynamic: ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values
true | false
DG_BROKER_START enables Oracle to determine whether or not the DMON (Data Guard broker) process should be started. DMON is a non-fatal Oracle background process and exists as long as the instance exists, whenever this parameter is set to true.
If the site is never going to be configured in a Data Guard broker configuration, then you can leave the parameter unspecified and accept the default value of false. If the site is part of a Data Guard broker configuration, then automatic startup of the DRMON process is simplified by setting DG_BROKER_START to true in the initialization parameter file.

Subject: Oracle upgrade to 10g
Hi group,
I have the following error while upgrading to 10g from 9.2 with the
database upgrade assistant.
ORA-32006 : DRS_START initialization parameter has been deprecated
ORA-01081: Cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first
According to this message, the database should have been shut down
before the upgrade but the database upgrade guide tells that the
database to be upgraded must be started before the upgrade.
Did anyone of you already has this problem?
Thanks
Sylvain
