It seems to me that a more useful fallback image, would be one that is generated at compile-time, rather than at install-time, and shipped as a part of the kernel package. This would avoid user errors, and mkinitcpio run-time problems.
This fallback image should contain the widest sets of hooks and modules so that it should work on any hardware and any setup (at least to the extent possible with our current hooks). I put a PKGBUILD up on AUR[0]. Rather than making it part of the kernel package, I made it separate (at Thomas' request). At least this should make it easy to test without having to rebuild kernels.
At the moment it simply includes all the hooks I could think of. If, in the future, we would like to add more features to it (e.g. pacman, arch-install-scripts or better networking tools), we should add mkinitcpio hooks to the relevant pacakges.
Any thoughts?
