I tried in VirtualBox on Arch i686 and it worked fine here (meaning I
didn't have that particular problem).

It then paniced due to problems in /init. Rev
93a8be170ff841dd345084b5f5eda66c76e6534f boots fine here on VirtualBox.

I don't know why you get "Failed to execute /init". However, I installed
mkinitcpio into the system and didn't try to use it from the git
directly. We can check that problem later though.
