Okay guys,
props to Thomas for finding out the problem with the initialization of wireless cards.
I built new images, dated 2010.05.16 (aka "final final images" ;)) in which this should be fixed, and which also come with updated core packages, most notably kernel26-2.6.33.4-1
http://build.archlinux.org/isos/
thanks to everyone who tested the 2010.05.13 (or earlier) images. i received confirmation for 4 images with which a boot+installation went fine. for netinstall-dual.iso I only reiceved confirmation that it boots fine (but that's enough, given the other tested images). However i got no feedback for the core-x86_64 image.
So right now, these two things are needed: * confirmation that archlinux-2010.05.16-core-x86_64.iso boots fine. * confirmation that wireless cards are properly initialised now.
cheers, and stay tuned for a release soonish :)

I did an offline installation with archlinux-2010.05.16-core-x86_64.iso in VirtualBox and it went flawlessly. I also used dm_crypt for the root partition and experienced no issues with that either. :) The new Grub theme used in the installation media is looking very sharp too. I love it. :) Awesome work Dieter!
