=20   Well, I can testify that the original poster is not alone in his
troubles...  Every time I have tried to rebuild my kernal, I have had t=
he
exact problem he describes: compiles with no problems whatsoever, boots=
=20up
to the point that 'sbin/init' is executed, then goes into an infinite l=
oop
of messages saying that process(1) received signal 11.  I have no clue =
as
to what might be causing this.

=20   I recently decided to upgrade to near-current by getting the preb=
uilt
950428 binaries, rather than repeating this continuous loop of failed
attempts at building it myself under 1.0.  I have not yet attempted to
build a kernal since upgrading, but I'm hopeful...
