If you have fatal sig 11 during kernel compilation, it almost _always_
means you have either bad L2 cache or a bad simm. To see if it's the
cache, go into your BIOS and disable the external cache entirely. If it's
not the cache, I suggest getting a SIMM tester and running all of your
memory through it several times.
