kernel changes quite often things. its not arch but upstream.

for this update-issues for some pkgs on a server, you could always put 
the kernel26 on the IgnorePkg in pacman:

# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
LogFile     = /var/log/pacman.log
HoldPkg     = pacman glibc
IgnorePkg   = scribus, kernel26 ...

so that it does not update untill you want it to (pacman -S kernel26)

xorg-xxx pkgs are also candidates for you to go to IgnorePkg

once you have time to figure things out (regarding open source 
software and your specific hardware - issues and solutions) then you 
can play with specially this pkgs untill you found out.
