Kernel Panic when starting the live image (CD and USB)

Hi i am a debian user that is trying arch for the first time.

I have a x48 ich9 mainboard and 4 hdds connected through the ich9 as raid10. Vista x64 is already installed.

When i start the current live image (x86_64) i get a kernel panic. Here are the lines before the loading process stops:

Linux agpgart interface v0.103
Serial: 8250/16550 driver4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
input: Macintosh mouse button emulation as /class/input/input0
PNP: No PS/2 controller found. Probing ports directly.

■■■■■■■■■■■■: bad variable name
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I have never encounterd this kind of problem and i am able to boot various other live distros on my pc.

I am little bit clueless right now.

Try an i686 ISO, and try an isolinux ISO Just guessing, mostly. Oh, and try an old ISO (2008.06).
