What more can I do? What conf files should I provide to help help me?

Post your /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Which iso is this? No ISOs have 2.6.31 kernel afaik. Tell us more about any recent upgrades or changes you made in the system.
Oops. Should have mentioned that I am using archiso on an archlinux installation to create a custom live USB.

Hello!
What conf files should I post. I's panicing on boot.

Does the problem persist? Did you follow my wiki guide? Post your grub/menu.lst and also post the resulting work/iso/grub/menu.lst. I think I may know the problem but I need to see those files first.

Yes I did indeed follow your guide. Here's my menu.list:
timeout 30
default 0
color light-blue/blue black/light-grey
title Boot arch
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 usbdelay=5 ramdisk_size=75% archisolabel=x
initrd /boot/my-arch.img
title Run Memtest86+ (memory testing)
kernel /boot/memtest86+-2.10.bin
#http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
title Run x86test (CPU info)
kernel /boot/x86test_zImage.bin
#wget http://www.vortex.prodigynet.co.uk/x86t … zImage.bin
title Shutdown the Computer
halt
title Reboot the Computer
reboot
The resulting work is:
timeout 30
default 0
color light-blue/blue black/light-grey
title Boot arch
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 usbdelay=5 ramdisk_size=75% archisolabel=ARCHISO_

Do you have the answer?

I indeed know what is wrong now (I HOPE!). Can you try installing pwgen, re-make the iso and see if the archisolabel= line from grub changes from the resulting one you posted? If it did, there's a good chance this is the cause and I'll add it as a dependency.
