Kernel panic while using chromium

Hi

After the /lib becoming a symlink to /usr/lib thing, I screwed up my system trying to upgrade after several months without any updates.

I did a fresh install about a week ago. Now running stock 3.5.3 kernel. Installed xorg-server, xf86-video-intel, openbox and chromium just to get full browsing experience. But after some chromium usage I got kernel panic. Next time it happened just after I launched chromium.

I have disabled the network daemon in /etc/rc.conf because it slowed down the boot-up considerably. I manually connect to my wifi router with these commands:

sudo modprobe -v ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
sudo wpa_supplicant -Bi eth1 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
sudo dhcpcd eth1

I didn't have my camera with me, now I'm waiting for another kernel panic to happen in order to take a photo of the call trace (btw, is there an easy way to retrieve the last kernel dump?). But I did take some notes:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

I'm not completely sure what's causing this panic. Chrome is the offending process, but trace starts with ipw2200 related calls. It also seems like a disk or socket write failure.
