[SOLVED] Can't upgrade kernel: files exist in file system
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my system for the first time after this incident: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113624
But I can't upgrade the kernel. A lot of files show this error:
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/modules.order exists in filesystem
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/modules.pcimap exists in filesystem
kernel26: /lib/modules/2.6.37-ARCH/modules.seriomap exists in filesystem
How do I fix it?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't upgrade kernel: files exist in file system
Seems that the dowgrade went a bit wrong (according to pacman). I never had any problems downgrading the kernel and friends so I don't know what happened in your system.

I just renamed the whole 2.6.37-ARCH folder, and then it upgraded fine and system is working fine. I upgraded trying to fix the error in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=114068 and it seems it worked
