Re: failed to install the new kernel pkg

It's trying to install under same package name as installed kernel. When that happened to me, I compiled a kernel26-custom package through PKGBUILD/ABS, installed and rebooted into it, and from it removed first kernel (kernel26), which then allowed for new updated kernel26 to be installed with no complaints. Try this http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25304 from AUR. Don't know if that's the fastest/easiest way to do it, but it works.
Hope that helps.

your kernel. i'd recommend you to do that first:
cp /boot/System.map26 /boot/System.map26.old
cp /boot/vmlinuz26 /boot/vmlinuz26.old
in case of problem with your newly installed kernel, edit the grub entry at boot according to the new back-up names above.
then simply:
pacman -Uf kernel26-snapshot-2.6.31-rc6-git6-i686.pkg.tar.gz
also, why has mkinitcpio been removed? reinstall it before installing your new kernel.
