Looks like this solved the hang problem. No system hang in the last 10 minutes. Shall i make a sysctl.conf entry to change this value by default, or what do you suggest?

I'll do a reboot now, to see if there will be a kernel panic at reboot, I compiled the kernel now with all the debug options. When it panicks, I'll post another screenshot of the console, this time a bigger one, as I managed to change the resolution of the console.
