You'll need the ntfs module compiled in the kernel. You have a couple of options. Either find the rpm for kernel-module-ntfs for your kernel on rpm.pbone.net. Or get a kernel tarball and compile it yourself.

IIRC, Linux supports NTFS read only. NTFS write is not yet stable. Or is it?

There used to be an [Experimental] tag in linux source against NTFS compilation option, which has been dropped in newer 2.6 series kernels. Guess its stable now.

Hi Amit, As far as I am concerned, 2.4 kernel does support ntfs partition, but it is not activated by default, so you need to recompile the kernel for that support. Hope this will solve your problem.
