Check where /bin/mount hangs (ask maintainer?). ntfs-3g calls mount(8) to
update /etc/mtab which doesn't return, so ntfs-3g hangs too waiting for it.
It could be also SELinux related. There were a few similar cases in the
past. Does Mandriva also use SELinux? Does this text help from the Fedora
bugzilla:

Another interesting thing: If I initiate a full relabeling of the
filesystems (i.e. touching /.autorelabel) the system boots fine too and
mounts the ntfs paritions during boot without problems. The next boot will
hang again (unless initiating another relabeling or changing the nfts
fstab-entries to noauto)
