I tried on install Arch using a netinstall CD (so pulling packages from the net).
However, after configuration it fails to generate linux image. The installer complaints that
Present not fount: etc/mkinitcipio.conf/kernel26.present
It flashed so fast that I have to repeat that steps a couple of times to see it.
I was able to install arch using the same installer earlier today. I wonder if it's a repository problem.
Any help?

If you updated to the current packages, you got the new kernel - linux 3 - which uses different filenames. kernel26 was removed from the repos a couple hours ago.
The news are on the front page http://www.archlinux.org/

Thank you for the reply.
So how can I install Arch from that installer now? Do I need a new installer? Where to get it?

Maybe start by picking an outdated mirror and when you have Arch installed, you will update it to linux 3 and change things according to what the announcement said
http://arm.konnichi.com/2011/07/20/$repo/os/os/$arch
You may need to substitute $arch in this url by your architecture i.e. i686 or x86_64

Hum... thanks again but can one make changes to mkinitcipio.conf to make it works?
It will be a problem to everyone if none of the netinstaller works.

I've installed Arch over two years ago and I simply don't remember the exact procedure and I can't answer this question.

It would be nice if you cold open a bug report and point devs to your problems.

It's probably not a bug due to the update, at least not an "expected" one. Since I did exactly the same thing both in an i686 and an x86_64 install, only the i686 one has got problems in generating the images. So I think there is an "faulty build" of an i686 package?

That's interesting.

Sorry, no idea.
I'm a bit confused: are you using Arch netinstall iso 2010.05 http://www.archlinux.org/download/ or an archboot one?

The netinstall iso, the dual arch one.
Though the topic is talking about Archboot, but:

Anyway I think it's nothing to do with the installer, otherwise I would probably not get that result in my tests.

I'm baffled why the 64-bit one works. Can you post your findings https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25477 ?

Hum... let me clarify, for this issue, I tested only with Archboot 2011.05 (not the dual boot CD).
Thanks to Karol suggestion: choosing a mirror that provides 2.26.xxx kernel then upgrade to kernel 3 solves the problem.
And I suspect modifying mkinitcpio.conf during installation to the following would solve that problem as well (but I have to say, I have never tested that).
# mkinitcpio preset file for the 'linux' package
ALL_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
ALL_kver="/boot/vmlinuz-linux"
PRESETS=('default' 'fallback')
#default_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
default_image="/boot/initramfs-linux.img"
#default_options=""
#fallback_config="/etc/mkinitcpio.conf"
fallback_image="/boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img"
fallback_options="-S autodetect"
