while testing new images, I get this: http://users.edpnet.be/dieter/vbox-or-kernel-or-mkinitcpio-bug.png
the error messages show up in google results and seem to be bugs in the Linux swap code and/or drivers.
interestingly, at first aif/dialog/mkinitcpio/find just keep running, but after a while the processes just vanish. dmesg doesn't say anything about OOM killer, but i get login prompts where i used to have a terminal with aif/initcpio running.
dmesg here: http://sprunge.us/YWQS any advice? i can probably workaround it by using more ram, but still...

hmm the behaviour seems to be pretty random. i went from 256 to 421MB ram where the issue stayed the same. now i'm trying 580MB and the machine gives pagefault errors by just trying to launch /arch/setup, and doesn't respond to any key afterwards :/
