Hm, signal 11 are often signs of bad hardware.

Type 'kldstat' and see if linux.ko is listed. Type 'ls /var/db/pkg' and
see if linux_base-6.1 is listed as a directory there. If both can be
answered with yes, linux mode is enabled and should be working on your machine.
Have a look at '/etc/rc.conf' and if you see 'linux_enable="YES"' as one of 
the lines, linux compat mode will be enabled immediately after booting.
