I have some hardware that won't compile on new 2.6.27 kernel (nevermind which).
I was wondering if it is possible to install old 2.6.26 kernel instead of 2.6.27 on NEW installation, and if so, how to do it?
When I execute -Syu it automatically downloads the newest kernel available.
In short, my question is: how to update to specific kernel version?

I found 2.6.26.2 here, but when I try to install the video driver, pacman want to update to 2.6.27

2.6.26.5 is the latest Arch had from 2.6.26.
If you're using nvidia/catalyst, you have to build them using ABS or find matching versions on those mirrors.

edit /etc/pacman.conf, uncomment the IgnorePkg line and type it as:
IgnorePkg = kernel26
as for the kernel, I found it here:
http://unix.net.pl/archlinux.org/curren … pkg.tar.gz
that solves this I guess.
