ArchLinux Live CD Wont boot i686

I recently tried to get arch linux to boot i686 in virtualbox, and it won't boot, looks like there are errors (See screenshot below). It appears to be a kernel panic, but I'm not certain.

Does VB require that you define x86 or x86_64 in the setup file?  As an aside, why spin up an i686 vbox at all?

Welcome to Arch Linux.  As HalosGhost points out, we try to limit large pictures in threads that don't have to do with screen shots.  Many of our members are on slow or metered connections and don't want to deal with large pictures.  I went ahead and converted the link to a url.

I use Arch Linux in VirtualBox all the time. 
I suggest you check that iso you are using matches the architecture of the machine you are emulating in VB.  Check the MD5 sum of the iso you are using against its known value to ensure it is not corrupt.   How much memory did you give to your VM in VB?
