You can also just 'find /lib/modules' to display all files in there. and pacman -Q kernel26 tells you whether kernel26 is installed or not. It's probably a good idea to check that too, maybe you removed it ? You also need to check running kernel (uname -r) matches the one installed. If you want to check which files are inside kernel26 , you have to do : pacman -Ql kernel26 pacman -Ql kernel26 | grep snd-hda-intel would be much more interesting and meaningful than pacman -Q kernel26 | grep snd-hda-intel which was just a small typo or overlook of Flavio.
