Summary and Info:
Archlinux' install cd boots up and tries to detect addons on several volumes. As soon as a NTFS volume is tested, the boot process hangs. It reacts to certain events such as plugging in a usb device, but you are not able to proceed with the installation. I've experienced this on the x86_64 install cd (Don't Panic, 2008.07), but I think i686 is affected by this bug as well. Steps to Reproduce: Install Windows on a NTFS partition at the beginning of a hdd and try to install archlinux to the space left. Maybe it is not relevant where the NTFS partition lies (couldn't test it). |

If there's a NTFS partition, the boot process hangs while searching for addons as stated above. Here's a log:

And then there's nothing happening any more.

Not sure if any progress has been made though.
In any cases, I don't think that's a pacman bug :)
also disablehooks now works, it's stupid bash that doesn`t allow exporting of - in variables.
i`ll upload it soon
