Hi!

Reproduced on 386DX/40 running 2.1.129, I investigated and decoded
oops are in mail. What happens is that during console_bh() processing
keyboard interrupt comes, and kernel dies in con_flush_chars().

Here is excerpt from the crash

con_flush_chars <- here it crashes
n_tty_receive_buf
do_self
kbd_handle_scancode
sys_adjtimex
enable_irq
keyboard_interrupt
handle_IRQ_event
flush_to_ldisc
console_bh (IIRC)

No need, it will crash, too.
