Update. I replaced the PRAM battery and I got the same symptoms. As a next step, I pressed the SMU reset on the motherboard, and reset the PRAM (Alt-Option-P-R) at boot. From that time on, things seem to work. I successfully built my own kernel. I left it overnight to build world. The ramdisk I created for /usr/obj was too small, so the build failed, but there were no hangs. The machine was still up and running in the morning. Thanks again! -Krzysztof
