That's bad!" > Hmm. Signal 11 usually means there is something wrong with your memories. One way to - easily, not foolproof - check memories is to run a make world and if it does without Signal 11, you're in the clear. I'd try replacing the memory. Or perhaps even just remove a bank or two, perhaps the error is in the upper memory - in which case the problem would vanish if they are not plugged in. Or swap them around.
