Hello,

I've some trouble with my Alix 2c3.
When in boot the distrib, I see after the end of process INIT :

"INIT: version 2.86 booting

malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
nunits < 30
Aborting...
malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
nunits < 30
Aborting...
malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
nunits < 30"

It is possible to login, but when i launch a command sometimes the system
disconnected with this message :

"root@(none):/# reboot

malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
Aborting...
malloc: ../../../bash/lib/sh/itos.c:50: assertion botched
malloc: block on free list clobbered
Aborting...
malloc: ../bash/dispose_cmd.c:241: assertion botched
nunits < 30
Aborting...Stopping periodic command scheduler: crond
malloc: ../bash/jobs.c:960: assertion botched
nunits < 30
Aborting.../etc/init.d/rc: line 77:  1829 Aborted                 $@

malloc: ../bash/jobs.c:371: assertion botched
malloc: block on free list clobbered
Aborting...error: '/etc/init.d/rc' exited outside the expected code flow."

this message appears with debian installed via "debootstrap".

I have go parameter "ide=nodma" to kernel, the same things.
I have test the memory with "memtester" : nothing
I have test the memory with "badblocks" : nothing

I'm lost...
