I pacman -Syu'ed, installed kernel 2.6.11.10, and rebooted. Now every single module that was in rc.conf will not load (no sound, ethernet, wireless..). If I try do to insmod with the appropriate module.ko files, they all say "unknown symbol in module". Even stranger, uname -a says that I'm using 2.6.11.7??
I've tried reinstalling the kernel through pacman and I've tried grub-install. I'm running out of ideas. I realize that I can revert back to an older version of the kernel but I feel like I'll never be able to upgrade the kernel again unless I figure out what the problem is.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Uhh... You don'y, by any chance, have any unusual options in modprobe.conf?

I'm not sure what would be considered unusual heh.
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 maestro3
# module options should go here# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0# card #1
alias snd-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias snd-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias snd-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias snd-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias snd-service-0-12 snd-pcm-ossalias wlan0 ndiswrapper
I had to retype that by hand so there might be typos..

Well, as of right now using "dxs_support=FOO" with snd-via82xx and not specifying the module (i.e. "options snd dxs_support=FOO" instead of "options snd-via82xx dxs_support=FOO") will prevent any sound modules from loading. But your modprobe.conf doesn't seem to have anything like that...
All I can say is that I definitely don't have this problem.
Hmm... Try installing the kernel26mm and booting into it, then removing and reinstalling kernel26.

Ah okay, thanks anyway Gullible Jones.
I'm talking to Maveric-i686- in chat and he says that he ran into this same problem one time. Apparently he ran some depmod command (with a lot of flags) that Xentac told him about. I'm going to post the command here for future reference since Maveric didn't write it down and can't remember it
/me goes to Google to find the command or waits for Xentac to post it

i had probs with my sound card modules once it was cos i need to upgrade the alsa drivers too - which autoedited the mod conf file and fixed it all!

Maybe I'm not being clear.. EVERY SINGLE MODULE is failing to load. Ethernet, wireless, soundcard, usb, etc. And uname is showing that I am using 2.6.11.7, even though I don't even have this kernel on my box. If I do a "locate 2.6.11.7", I get back about 12 files (almost all are module.*).
I've reinstalled the kernel 2.6.11.10 numerous times now with the same outcome.

There's no need for that tone, we're all suggesting things aren't we?

no hes using grub, he mentioned grub-install earlier
obviously the bzimage for the kernel wasnt updated with the update. try reinstalling the package, and if that doesnt work, its a broken package, downgrade to the old one, assuming its still in your pacman cache. /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

try reinstalling the package
he tried that

i missed the grub mention

I'm sorry dibble, I apologize. I was getting frustrated because I've spent hours on this and then Xentac was acting like a real prick to me in chat.
Anyway, I have downgraded to 2.6.11.7 and everything's working again. I'm pretty sure that I can't be doing something wrong between the pacman -S kernel26 and the reboot (yes, I have grub), so I assume there is something wrong with the package.

Compile and install the kernel manually.

Argh... I remember something like this once happened to me... Uhh...
Okay... Do you have a separate boot partition? Does it have the "noauto" flag? If so, that is your problem...
