Today my system just froze while moving the mouse. It was completely dead, so I
had to hard-reset it. During boot there was a problem activating the crypto-fs
(which needed checking). While I tried to enter "check" after the passphrase
prompt, I saw a panic-like message on the screen, then the display manager
started.
Examining the syslog later I found (no reasons for the freeze) these messages
during the boot after reset:

I don't know if that is serious, but it doesn't look pretty at least.
