The beyond kernel has been discontinued. Because of this, it can no longer be found in any of the official Arch repositories. Try the -fallen kernel (http://www.fallendusk.org/linux_patches/fallen/), which contains most of the -beyond kernel's features and is still updated.

kernel26mm

The -mm patches are a set of patches, released by Andrew Morton, against the official kernel series. They are the developmental builds of the Linux kernel. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mm_tree)

kernel26ck

These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload.

The ck kernel has been discontinued as of Linux 2.6.22-ck1. This means that you can find the ck kernel in the official Arch repositories until Arch moves beyond 2.6.22, then it will probably be removed. Try the -fallen kernel (http://www.fallendusk.org/linux_patches/fallen/), which contains the -ck patches and is still updated.

kernel26suspend2

The Linux Kernel with suspend2 (http://www.suspend2.net) support.

kernel26emission

The Linux Kernel and modules, with E-Mission patchset. Location: AUR.
