[Solved] Compiling a new kernel with ABS

Question

I've made it through the whole process outlined in the wiki, up to installing with pacman.  Pacman is telling me that the stock arch kernel is a conflicting package and wants to remove it.  I want to hang on to it in case I've messed something up.  What am I doing wrong?  I know you can have two kernels installed.  Using the traditional way I can get this, but I'd rather keep to doing things The Arch Way.

Answer 1

I double checked what I was doing, and I have done that.  Here is my modified PKGBUILD:
