[SOLVED] mkinitcpio brings error during install

installing mkinitcpio...
Optional dependencies for mkinitcpio:
[...]
installing linux...
>>> Updating module dependencies. Please wait ...
>>> Generating initial ramdisk, using mkinitcpio. Please wait ...
/sbin/mkinitcpio: line 160: 6596 Segmentation fault          mountpoint -q /proc
==> ERROR: /proc must be mounted!

It's happening even before any configuration so I can't imagine what could I did wrong... had some troubles with sources (core newer than extra) but I finally decided to use ftp.archlinux.org so it's irrelevant.

Should I exit the installer and mount /proc? But, well... I don't know what device should I mount there. ;3

Also, when I'm exiting the installer, this errors appear (a lot of times in a row):

[ *number 1*] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [*number 2*]
[ *number 3*] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block *number 2*, size 96ac

and some buffer I/O errors and I can't even "shutdown -r now" and need to use power button... but only after failed installation, without it - everything is okay.

Can it be that the installation media is damaged, like e.g. I did sth wrong during "dd" the iso into the pen drive?

I would appreciate any response.
