Actually, this happened to me as well using Calcu's 4.5 kitchen. I had all kinds of freezing issues, installs that failed, etc. When I did a soft reset, it came up as a hard reset (had to do setup again, etc.) I chalked it up to a bad cook, but maybe it's something more.

I did change the pagepool to 24 MB. I also didn't notice issues until I ran Sashimi to set up my email (via XML provisioning). I'm not sure if it's an issue with Sashimi or the ROM since I installed and ran Sashimi within minutes of flashing; I didn't really run it for a long time before I installed Sashimi.

Since it was so buggy, I just reflashed with grooveROM. All of the issues went away, so you definitely don't have any permanent hardware damage. I was going to play around with it more tonight to see if I can track down what went wrong. Just flash something else in the meantime and you'll be back up and running.
