Details

When liveUSB loads, links in /etc/pacman.d/mirrolist all point to 32bit respiratories.

I've noticed that both overlay.sqfs and root-image.sqfs have /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
In root-image.sqfs is proper version of file (with X86_64)
In overlay.sqfs is corrupt version of file (with i686)
This task depends upon

Can you please state the exact ISO/IMG you used to install?

I was about to download the 32bit USB IMG to test on my EEE. Ill try this one instead.

Ah crap, this is because we have the mirrorlist in the overlay... I will fiddle with this

Fixing this now. This is due to the fact that we include the mirrorlist in the overlay (hmmm, we need a better solution for that issue).

Fixing this temporarily. New devtools (http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=devtools.git;a=commitdiff;h=9dd60741bddfb9cd61d6665bffd2d1ea9b99513b) should enable us to remove the pacman configs from the overlay.

That was my fault. In the ancient year 2008 <g> (when we want to hurry on pushing a iso) during testing and patching i found my system's pacman.conf (with own repos) in the iso enviroment. So i thought: Hey, we must prevent us from such behaviour, so it's better to put clean pacman setting on the iso. So i put also mirrorlist file to the overlay and this was mine from i686. During testing i never have error with this, i have no x86_64 machine.
I promise to be a carefully in the future ;-) And it's an example that we need testers and testing isos...
