Installation of 0.7.1-pre1 troubleshooting

After a fresh 0.7.1-pre1 installation on 2 SATA disks RAID1 (I followed instructions of WIKI RAID/LVM HOWTO) my system boots unexpectably:

Here is a copy of boot failed lines:
1) mount Mounting /dev/md0 on /new_root failed No such file or directory
2) pivot_root No such file or directory
3) umount /initrd No such file or directory
4) /bin/sh Can't open

My comments on boot failure:
I never declare a /new_root, Neither initrd !! I am dead without a shell :-(

I don't wanna leave Arch pacman for a functional Debian installation ...
Have you any suggestion to get my system functional?

By the way WIKI RAID/LVM HOWTO has errata such as:
It doesn't mention that modprobe raid1 and modprobe dm-mod are needed.
mkdir /sys
mount -t sysfs none /sys
always fail.
Usage of
mkdir /mnt/sys
mount -t sysfs none /mnt/sys
don't fail but I am not sure about ...

Re: Installation of 0.7.1-pre1 troubleshooting

So far, no responce. OK guys, I understand that Arch 0.7.1-pre is a PRE release so it contains many or a few bugs.

I used my 0.7.1-pre CD but instead of using CD files for installation I used FTP (0.7.0) stable branch and everything is OK.
