Description:

AIF fails to run chroot /mnt /sbin/mkinitcpio because of this change:

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/mkinitcpio&id=7a66753e176bf240da2be4ef31bd18498b99685c

mkinitcpio-0.8.0-1 installs binaries under /usr/bin/, while the installer tries to run /sbin/mkinitcpio


Adding a symlink from /sbin/mkinitcpio to /usr/bin/mkinitcpio solved the issue.

I can confirm this.

This is probably a bug in aif rather than mkinitcpio. My guess is that all that really needs to be done is change one line in aif's lib-software.sh... and then maybe make a new release of the netinstall CD. :-\
