This was commented while creating the database or you commented while posting, also let us know is this the complete init.ora file you have uploaded in the post which you were using for creating the DB.

>>ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file<<
The above error clearly states that it cann't create the audit file.

here is the doc with step by step process
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/create003.htm
Most likely this is not the firs time you are attempting to run the installation with that particulr SID. Check this out:

The other thing to check is whether you have sufficient permission for adup directory.

Do:

cd /u01/app/oracle/admin/newdb
ls -a adump

or

ls - a /u01/app/oracle/admin/newdb/adump

to see the permissions
