[arch-general] x86_64 kernel 3.4.3-1 fail to boot - initramfs unpacking failed: uncompression error

Guys, Updating an x86_64 box, I ran into an error I've never seen before with the 3.4.3-1 kernel. It hard-locks at the very start of boot with the keyboard lights flashing. Basically the first line of the boot says: Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel. [0.480811]

So at this point I'm still left wondering what I'm supposed to do instead of the grub thing so that the boot information is correctly mirrored on to the other RAID1 device. In other words, what *should* the wiki say instead of having the incorrect set of instructions that refer to grub? see
