chromium-bsu is not the package you are looking for. chromium-bsu is a game, you are probably looking for chromium-browser.

Anyway, it is likely this is a bug in your non-free binary-blob nvidia kernel module.

Seems to be a problem with kernel prior to 2.6.35 when connecting a Nokia to computer.

Here:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=54617&q=exit%20os%3DLinux&colspec=ID%20Stars%20Pri%20Area%20Feature%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20Modified%20Owner%20Mstone%20OS#c37

"Apparently, phonet is a network protocol that is still not (much)
exploited by applications and Nokia phones offer alternatives that are
currently used. From what I could understand, it was added to the kernel
very much in provision of future use and as it is needed by linux
powered nokia tablets."

"Those with less recent kernels such as 2.6.32 (lucid) can simply
blacklist the module.
Those with more recent kernels such as 2.6.35 can rely on a kernel with
a fixed phonet already."

This can be done adding:
blacklist cdc_phonet
blacklist phonet

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

Closing due to the last update to this bug being almost 7 years old. Please file a new bug if this still applies to recent releases of chromium-browser.
