cannot upgrade the new kernel

hey,

everytime I do a pacman -Syu, the latest kernel needs to be upgraded but I get conflicts.

I've never had an issue before upgrading kernels.

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/modules.alias: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/modules.ccwmap: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/modules.dep: exists in filesystem

  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/modules.symbols: exists in filesystem
  kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/modules.usbmap: exists in filesystem

errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Am I missing something?

Thanx in advance.
