2.1.93 console freeze

I am running 2.1.93 and it's successfully been running for about 2 days, 11
hours and 45 minutes. Unfortunately it just showed a sign of sickness that a lot
of kernels seem to have lately, randomly freezing consoles.

I was in the middle of a lynx session when my keyboard stopped responding. It
was at this point I turned on the laptop connected to the serial port and logged
in via agetty. Once logged in, I became root and restarted gpm on my ps/2 mouse.
This caused a kernel panic but also unlocked my console. I was unable to write
down the panic though.

Does this mean that there is a problem with the keyboard as/2 mouse drivers
conflicting?

Just a thought
