I have a custom kernel installed (using linux-zen from the AUR), and on issuing the "pacman -Syu" command, pacman updates the mainline linux kernel and sets my linux-zen kernel as a fallback option in grub. I don't want it to do this. How can I prevent this behavior? I want to keep the mainline linux kernel installed as a fallback, so simply removing the mainline kernel using pacman isn't quite an ideal option.

pacman won't change anything in grub, you've got something else going on there.

Not a Pacman issue, moving to AUR Issues...

As Scimmia notes, pacman will not change grub. However, it will trigger post install hooks. I'm not remotely familiar with GRUB, but it has os-prober and other automated config generators - if one of these is triggered in a post install (or post upgrade) hook, then this could regenerate your grub configs. However, if this is causing a problem, you must not have properly set up grub for your custom kernel (perhaps you manually editted the grub config rather than adding a file to /etc/grub.d).
