Post sanding latex paint

I am repainting my kitchen, the existing paint is gloss latex and when I sand the paint it balls up from the friction. How can I sand it to a smooth finish?

Denny - It sounds like the paint has not adhered to the original surface. I'd say you might want to strip it completely , but if you have entire walls, that's a ton of work.

Try sanding with a lighter touch, or use a lighter grit sand paper. For the areas that have already peeled, touch up with some spackle.... just to smooth the edges. Lightly sand.
