Unless I'm mistaken, isn't mkinitcpio in /bin not /sbin?
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Friday, 13 April 2012, 12:41 GMT
'type -p' or 'which' or 'pacman -Ql' would tell you It's in /usr/bin. The real problem here is that AIF doesn't want to do a path lookup.

type -p mkinitcpio says /sbin/mkinitcpio, I'm still booted into the live environment and mkinitcpio is indeed in /sbin ?

On the install CD it does...

I am using archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-dual.iso. I also see that AIF is doing a chroot to /mnt to run mkinitcpio where mkinitcpio does not exist in /sbin or /bin but /usr/bin rather. I just did a symlink of /usr/bin/mkinitcpio to /sbin and AIF continues just fine. Was this a recent change in mkinitcpo location?

No, it was removal of a symlink. mkinitcpio has been in /usr/bin for several months now.

I see it was removed a few days ago in 0.8.7-1, why was that?
