Archiso problem

Hi

I'm trying to make my own specific Arch installation disk via archiso from [extra]. But I have stumbled upon a problem. When I try to boot the medium I get a Kernel Panic:
[img=http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6912/archliveerrorik9.th.png]

I build the iso via this command:

$ mkarchiso -v all ./archlive ./archlive.iso
...<snip>

It seems to build correctly until at the end:

Notice the WARNING and ERROR? I'm not sure how I should solve that.

Anyone?

Re: Archiso problem

I can confirm the same result is also present when booting the iso via qemu (+kqemu) and vmware server 1.0.7 (on winxp). That's a good capture... I didn't notice the earlier error you did. I am also searching for the answer.

Re: Archiso problem

This is cause of the new udev,klibc, and mkinitcpio i think. You have to use the git version in for it to build correctly.
