I have tried installing off the 2009.02 amd64 iso on a new build, i have successfully partitioned my hdd and have come to select packages, attempting to install over FTP. When selecting option 3 in the installer i get the usual two stage warning then an error message "Pacman preparation failed! check /dev/tty7 for errors." checking /dev/tty7 gives me the error "/arch/setup: line 715: /usr/bin/pacman: Input/output error" does anyone have any suggestion how i might fix this? Thanks.
//Edit
I think that my CD was incorrectly burnt, i am not sure if this was as a result of the download from the mirror or from the actual burning process. I have successfully [?!] installed arch off a newly downloaded copy of the .iso from another mirror.
