This can be worked around by using a daily snapshot of the installer: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/ Worked fine for me in qemu three days ago.

Everything boots OK but gdm wont start properly and doing aptitude safe-upgrade/full-upgrade acctualy shows some errors about udev. Funny thing is I did aptitude install linux-image-2.6-686 before everything, but this acctualy pull'd a lot of things.. including udev. Weird that new udev depends on new kernel,but in same time it depends on it ?

Anyhow, hopefully the maintainers will make the ia32-libs etc
