Signal 11 usually means memory is gone screwy -- if you overclocked, you overclocked too far. You should clock your CPU back down a bit if you overclocked it any, you should slow your RAM timings down in BIOS, or you should run a very comprehensive memory scanner on your machine to ensure that all your memory is good. Compiling the kernel traverses huge trees in memory, making a kernel compile one of the best system sanity-checks I know about. Any wrong bits in there, and then the compiler jumps to the wrong spot, etc.. and gives up with a signal 11. There is an entire signall 11 FAQ out there someplace, I forget where it is though. -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi!
