Nvidia problem after kernel update

Question

I moved from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16 with ABS and now my nvidia isn't working.
When I run pacman -S nvidia, I see:
INSTALLATION FAILED
=> You have to shutdown X-server to finish installation! You have to rerun pacman -s nvidia
And I am sure that I've shutdown my X, I even removed /tmp/.X0-lock
Can anyone help me 

Answer 1

:? I don't understand, I have my kernel sources at /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-ARCH and I have /lib/modules/linux-2.6.16-ARCH but the ABS is /var/abs/testing/kernels/kernel26/pkg/lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH
The logfile talks about /opt/nvidia but I dont have that
