[arch-general] 'base' package install with non-updated linux-kernel

[Justin Capella]

You don't need to install the Linux package. I think generally that's why
it was removed from base. You might look into using pacman.conf IgnorePkg
to prevent upgrades... But I will try to post on that thread, it may not be
an issue with the kernel. So check there shortly
