Description:I am using this wiki page.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Arch_from_within_another_distro#Install_Base_System

I am in my 32 bit chroot. I have followed the directions up to the 'install base system' Method 1. When I enter this cmd (pacman -Sy base -r /newarch --ignore kernel26) pacman refuses to ignore kernel26, even after answering it's own question a second time on whether I would like to install kernel26. Here is a pastebin too make things more clear.

Hm. This is odd. I'm working on this. The main problem, that "-S base" is equivalent with "-S acl attr bash ...", because we have one sync_addtarget function, which requires a string (package name) from front-end. This function was designed for adding "command line targets", and "-S ignorepkg" overrides IgnorePkg of pacman.conf... (you are allowed to install an IgnorePkg).

Probably this is fixed by my (not yet accepted) patch "New error type: PM_ERR_PKG_IGNORED" in my working repo:
http://repo.or.cz/w/pacman-ng.git?a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/working
""

I also think this patch should fix this issue, which is quite annoying btw, I ran into it myself.

Well, that patch is maybe an overkill, but the front-end cannot check ignorepkgs (or it should not check: after introducing IgnoreGroup, it is not so easy).
In these problematic cases the back-end (before my patch) returns with PKG_NOT_FOUND, which we also could omit, but it would be a bit dirtier imho. And I thought that the new "error" type (PKG_IGNORED) can be useful in some other cases.
