Awaiting response on this

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.

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.
