I think there may be something wrong with the 3.4 software installer. Just
my 2 cents.
Possibly a bad memory leak? Faulty pointer assignment? I doubt it's
hardware if you can run the system, install other OS's, etc without
problems. Any further ideas? I was planning on upgrading from 3.3 to 3.4...
I'm thinking twice about that.

Hmmm.... I am no expert but I don't think the problem is bad hardware...
When I try to load 3.4 I get the same signal 11 error when I hit Custom for
the install type. Every time. This same machine was running 2.2.8 for
almost a year with no problems. I installed 3.2 and 3.3 on it with no
difficulties and it is now running 4.0 for about a week. The only version
I
ever had problems with was 3.4. This signal 11 error occurred when I used
the CD or downloaded from the web.
I think there may be something wrong with the 3.4 software installer. Just
my 2 cents.

Well,
1) this is in FAQ;
2) "complete story" is at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/
read it, really informative. In short: the main causes
of sig11 are bad memory [chips, controllers, cache, BIOS settings, etc.],
bad hardware, overclocking...

My personal opinion: 4.0 is very cool, but I'd not go
with -RELEASE, better grab a fresh snapshot from, say,
ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/
and install it.
Good luck,
Igor.
