This is a message from the old mkinitrd, which is obsolete starting with
the 2.6.17 kernel. This means that bugs in mkintrd won't be fixed.

If you do an ftp install, then add 'kernel26.img' instead of
'initrd26.img' in your menu.lst (or 'kernel26-fallback.img' instead of
'initrd26-full.img').
You will be using the new initramfs images then and shouldn't run into
trouble like above. (FYI, starting with 2.6.18, Arch will only provide
these new images, as mkinitrd has been obsoleted)
