if i run a mkinitcpio -p kernel26 i'm having the same results...
i've had this problem with the previous kernel 2.6.30.2, and i solved it doing a chroot from a livecd and reinstalling the kernel package (the same version works, no errors)
if you need some other info, just ask...
sorry for bad english...

Re: [SOLVED]mkinitcpio 'Unrecognized file format' errors
well, i think i've found the issue, i had cw (color-wrapper) running with bash and it inserts color escape codes in the mkinitcpio filelist, corrupting it, switching to zsh and running a normal mkinitcpio -p kernel26 solved the problem, thanks anyway...

Re: [SOLVED]mkinitcpio 'Unrecognized file format' errors
Wow! I had the same issue, I never would've guessed it would be color-wrapper causing the issues! How did you figure that one out?

Re: [SOLVED]mkinitcpio 'Unrecognized file format' errors
it was just a bit of luck, while i was reading the mkinitcpio manual page, found that running mkinitcpio with -s file saves a list of the files that are going to be written in the ramdisk, then i realized that the errors look like a problem while parsing a filelist, and, when i opened it, i saw all this escape codes (like ^[e...) before the permission's number of every file, and the first thing that comes to my mind was insertyourfavoriteinsulthere color-wrapper!
i'm glad you have been able to solve it too...
