Im unable to start the database. It gives the error:-

ORA-27300: OS system dependent operation:semget failed with status: 28
ORA-27301: OS failure message: No space left on device

The error message seems to be straight forward. Did you see all the drives? Control files, DBF files, redo log files might be in different drives.. You need to check everything

Yes, it-rex's post is what I was referring to. Just make sure you know which instance's IPC objects you are removing, if there are multiple running.
Make sure not to stop Oracle with "kill -9" this is another way to cause this problem.
I started with Experts Exchange in 2004 and it's been a mainstay of my professional computing life since. It helped me launch a career as a programmer / Oracle data analyst
