As workaround just boot on qemu as scsi cd-rom that works better than ide implementation.

Sure -T basic: join both .iso keeping .sqfs intact. -T split: join both .iso modifiying .sqfs with the follow rules: * usrshare.sqfs (any) is build from i686 root-image.sqfs [this can be done since /usr/share for both archs is the same] * libmodules.sqfs (for each arch) is build from root-image.sqfs (respectively) [useful for boot 64Krnl/32User] * /usr/share and /lib/modudes are removed from both root-images.sqfs * core-any-pkg.sqfs (any) is build from i686 core-pkgs.sqfs. * *any* packages are removed from both core-pkgs.sqfs -T full: join both .iso doing all work in "split", but also removes specified files (listed on a file) from root-image.sqfs. > > Also, there is the overlay: We used to have a separate > overlay for each > architecture, is that still necessary?

Hello Since new initscripts and mkinitcpio are in [core] new images can be build without doing "git/overlay hacks". Just to say: All things tested looks fine in both architectures, random tests: some on virtual machines (Qemu/VirtualBox), some on real machines, some with copytoram... build OK build dual (both -T basic and -T split) OK boot,shutdown as cd-rom OK {*} boot,shutdown as disk OK boot,shutdown as pxe OK {**} boot,shutdown as memdisk OK {***} Images sizes are: 739246080 archlinux-2010.07.13-core-dual.iso (-T basic) {****} 667942912 archlinux-2010.07.13-core-dual.iso (-T split) 363855872 archlinux-2010.07.13-core-i686.iso 381681664 archlinux-2010.07.13-core-x86_64.iso 355467264 archlinux-2010.07.13-netinstall-dual.iso (-T basic) 296747008 archlinux-2010.07.13-netinstall-dual.iso (-T split) 176160768 archlinux-2010.07.13-netinstall-i686.iso 185597952 archlinux-2010.07.13-netinstall-x86_64.iso {*} There is a bug in qemu-kvm that ide-cdrom (default used) does not work propertly, use instead and scsi-cdrom. [#1] {**} Due recent change about copytoram=y umount under archiso_pxe_nbd hook fails, (I will sent a patch that removes these unneeded commands in few minutes) {***} Additional parameter (vmalloc=) must be passed to kernel on machine with more than ~800MB of RAM under 32 bits only, otherwise will fail. {****} -T basic is how official dual media (2010.05) is build.
