I have successfully compiled/installed and run [...] you have packaged chromium but not compiled it as the PKGBUILD downloaded an already compiled binary version of chrome.
you could try with a clean config dir. backup and remove ~/.config/chromium. and try again.
may be you're missing a dependance not written in the PKGBUILD ? or may be that binary chrome is not compatible with athlon ?
that's all i can think of...
SIGILL is an illegal instruction, which means the CPU can't execute the instruction. My guess is that Chromium uses SSE2 instructions, which are present on the Pentium M, but not the Athlon XP.
that's indeed the case.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxPackaging "SSE flags For silly reasons our default build depends on SSE, but we don't actually need. Search base/common.gypi and patch out the -msse2 bits before building your package. "
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=9007 "Result: layout tests require SSE2, normal builds probably shouldn't and Google Chrome packages don't. We don't control other packages."
Don't waste your time reading all the comments on that issue like I just did. There are hundred of stupid users who posted their cpuinfo (compare that to this thread where the issue was found after two posts without much info), and some others trolling.
Just build chromium yourself without sse2, or try to find a binary which was compiled without it. If I understood correctly, the .deb packages built there should now be without sse2 :

Many Thanks, will try a build without sse2 Cheers, Bernie
