Two points that you have to remember: 1) there must be modules 2) there must be a kernel image Change the file names in /boot, because mkinitcpio still creates with the standard names. You can change the config files as well. I created a script to install an x64 kernel alongside i686, but it's all about renames, so you can use it verbatim as well (if you have the pkg cached): http://paste.pocoo.org/show/303829/ ./303829 $kernelpkgfile $name Or just follow the steps and rename stuff in existing files.
