The only messages you get from chromium is about the lack of PCI
support:

+ exec /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser --use-gl=egl

pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
pcilib: Cannot find any working access method.
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
pcilib: Cannot find any working access method.

This is because the method CollectGraphicsInfo
(chrome/gpu/gpu_info_collector_linux.cc) expects the user to be running
on a machine with proper PCI support, to get more info about the board.
But even with the wrong code, I don't know this should affect in a way
that would freeze chromium.

And it's correctly loading libEGL and libGLESv2.

Title:
  chromium-browser dies when trying to run a webgl application with GLES
  on ARM

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chromium-browser

  With a Pandaboard, running with the PVR SGX drivers installed from ti-
  omap/omap-trunk PPA, chromium browser dies when trying to run a webgl
  application.

  To use the GLES support you need to start up chromium giving the
  "--use-gl=egl", then go to
  http://khronos.org/webgl/wiki/Demo_Repository and try to run any webgl
  demo, and chromium will die.
