Upgrade error... can I force it?

Hey all. Having some probs with my kernel and nvidia etc atm, getting this error on pacman -Syu:

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... 
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.alias: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.ccwmap: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.dep: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.ieee1394map: exists in filesystem

  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.pcimap: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.symbols: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.11.10-ARCH/modules.usbmap: exists in filesystem


errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Can I just force it? I might have to change the kernel anyway to get the nvidia drivers to work...

You can force it.  I believe it's pacman -Syf or pacman -Syuf...
can never quite remember until it happens again.

Cheers. I never quite know when it's safe or not :S
