Details

I'm using the testbuild-iso from 2012.04.04. When in the "Prepare Hard Drive"-menu, I choose "Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints" and use the "/dev/*"-notation for the partition's list.

The first weird thing is, that every partition in my system is listed twice, except the ones starting with "/dev/dm-X" (see the attached screenshot).

When I then choose a partition and choose to format it and afterwards use it as root "/", nothing happens at all. When I try to proceed, I get the error, telling me that I have not specified a root-partition.

When I choose a partition to use and also choose to format it with "ext3", I get the following message blinking just for a single millisecond on the bottom left of the screen (I filmed it to get it's content):

sed -e expression #1, char 16: unterminated 's' command

I'm not sure what script I should look into, and also I'm not sure what I can do to get pass this point.

Same error here while installing on MacBook Pro - tried archlinux-2012.04.05_14-30-01-core-x86_64 and archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64

I was ultimately able to install by letting AIF first write the incorrect temporary block configuration to /tmp/aif, then modified it to match my desired configuration, and tried /arch/setup again. Used the "Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints", let it load the last configuration. Worked like a charm.

I also had to manually install GRUB although that was trivial.

Same error when I tryed installing all of core releases (x86_64, i686 and dual) from snapshots.
I've filed a bug in here too, https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29859
