Description:
When installing ArchLinux with the Net Install DVD (2010-5) the Kernel gets updated to version 3.0 but the GRUB installation references the vmlinuz-kernel26 and kernel26.img instead of "vmlinuz-linux" and "initramfs-linux.img" leaving Arch boot entries broken (easy to fix by editing the GRUB reference on the spot, but may be hard for GRUB-first-timers to figure it out). Confirmed with the NetInstall 2010-5 Dual Architecture version choosing "x86_64" but it's most likely the same in i386 too.

Steps to reproduce:
-Install ArchLinux from Net Install DVD 2010-5 Dual Architecture choosing "x86_64".
-Choose to install the bootloader.
-Reboot the PC without manually fixing the "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" file.
This task depends upon
