Arch crashing after Chromium update
I just updated Chromuim. I had Chromium open while the update was running, and soon after the update finished, and I was using Chromium, my system crashed. The screen gave a bunch of error messages, and I was unable to get to a terminal by typing ctrl/alt/(any of) the f# keys.
I rebooted, thinking that was what caused Chromium to shut down. I opened Chromium and had several tabs open, including one streaming music. Chromium crashed again, and again I couldn't start a terminal with ctrl/alt/any f#. While the screen displayed several errors, the streaming audio continued without a hitch, giving me a pleasent background while I wrote down the errors. What was listed at the top was:
Bug; Unable to handle kernel paging request at 431c39d4
raw spin lock
preempt smp
modules linked in- (then a ton of modules)
Pid 707, comm: Xorg not tainted 3.1.5-1 Arch #1
When I rebooted, dmesg didn't seem to show anything, so I'm not sure what info I can give to solve this. I'm posting from Firefox, and so far, obviusly, so good.
If I need to show the error screen, advice on how to do that would be appreciated.

Pacman -Syu. It just came up as an available upgrade, and I upgraded pretty much same as any other upgrade.

If you delete ~/.config/chromium? After you backup your bookmarks and all, that is.

Re: Arch crashing after Chromium update
Just tried doing "rm ~/.config/chromium," and it returned:
"rm: cannot remove `/root/.config/chromium': No such file or directory."

Run that command as user.
