Hi,

On statrup vendetta crach and I get this message:

vendetta: ../../gk/kernel/gkmalloc.cpp:53: void* GKmalloc(unsigned int): Assertion `ptr' failed.

Any idea ?

IANAD (I Am Not A Dev), but I think it might be a problem with your kernel memory allocatoin procedures, not vendetta.

Which libc and which kernel are you using?

Hi,

I was thinking about it. Maybe not libc - because I'm using 2.2, but kernel is quite old - 2.2.19. Ok I have some time now so maybe I will switch to some 2.4.x

Well, that certainly could do it. I didn't know anyone even did run 2.2! I mean, I run 2.6 (although I also run 2.0...) and most people run at least 2.4... Well, go to it!

Ok, so I noticed that kernel 2.2.19 is too old to run vendetta, so maybe all 2.2.x are too old ? On 2.4.x everything works fine...
