I found this loading the ext4 module:

1 root@archiso ~ # modprobe -v ext4 :(
modprobe: FATAL: Module ext4 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.4-1-ARCH
1 root@archiso ~ # uname -a :(
Linux archiso 4.6.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 11 19:12:32 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@archiso ~ # ls -la /lib/modules/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 120 Aug 20 11:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6340 Aug 20 11:51 ..
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 320 Aug 20 11:51 4.7.1-1-ARCH
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Aug 17 06:15 extramodules-4.7-ARCH
root@archiso ~ #

That makes the ISO rather unusable. The modules should match.
This task depends upon

Hi.
I cannot reproduce on archlinux-2016.08.01-dual.iso.

Which iso version are you using ? Are you sure you didn't update your kernel on the live installation media in the overlayfs, explaining why the modules versions do not match with the running kernel?

Actually it is some kind of bug. When you update the live system, the modules of the current kernel disappear. See my attached file.
