I remember an issue when installing on sd-card:
When in "Manually partition Hard Drives" i see my device as mmcblk0, but when i want to set a mountpoint for mmcblk0p1 in "Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints" i don't see the device any more.
Any changes on that?
I'll test it later anyway.
]]>Well, after having surfed around a bit I draw the preliminary conclusion that btrfs seems to have to go a year or so for it to really mature and thus to be commonly recommended. (Unless more high-quality manpower is added)
]]>When I use the installer and go to partition my disk, if I make the first two partitions primary partitions and all subsequent partitions logical partitions, I "lose" my 5th logical partition (sda5). (There is also a small 1 mb of free space in front of my first partition thanks to Win7's partitioner; whether that is relevant or not I do not know.) I lose it only when I go to encrypt it before setting mount points.
My sda3 partition is an EFI partition, 50mb in size, that the manufacturer put there.
I have checked the hard drive for sector errors (none were found) and I've repeated this event several times now. Strangely, if I use the "maximize" function in Cfdisk to maximize a partition that isn't showing up, that partition becomes visible thereafter in subsequent screens, like when I go to set up Luks. The problem with that work-around, however, is that the partition I maximized becomes corrupted/unbootable. I get an FSCK error upon booting up after I've input my password for that partition and the mount point that should appear (usually my / mount) is blank instead of a normal PS1 prompt.
I hope this is coherent and repeatable by you should you decide to test this. I do like your releases and up until now have had no issues. My partition layout is pasted below.

Hrm quickinst should also add any to the custom pacman.conf file, that it works. I'll look at it.
Thanks for reporting those issues. My chroots lasts since 4 years or so
At the moment i'm heavily working on setup script to integrate usable btrfs support.
Next version will also have label support, extlinux bootloader support and changed bootscheme to menu.
It will be great

Many thanks
Edit: If I choose 'core-any' instead of i686, it's ok.
