[arch-general] problem installing custom kernel

Hi,
I tried compiling and installing the linux kernel from ABS. I modified the
PKGBUILD file as mentioned in the wiki. The kernel compiles fine and the pkg
gets built with the name linux-custom as specified in the PKGBUILD. But when I
try to install it I get the following error:

$ sudo pacman -Uv linux-custom-3.2.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 
Root      : /
Conf File : /etc/pacman.conf
DB Path   : /var/lib/pacman/
Cache Dirs: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/  
Lock File : /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
Log File  : /var/log/pacman.log
GPG Dir   : /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
Targets   : linux-custom-3.2.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

looking for inter-conflicts...
:: linux-custom and linux are in conflict (kernel26). Remove linux? [y/N] N
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: linux-custom and linux are in conflict

I have attached the PKGBUILD.
