I just got pretty good info how to do that... Here's instruction that I got from this mailing-list... hope it hepls you, though I can't give you much of assistance with it, since I new with red hat too.. (you need source code installed to do this...)
Do this first check devel packages for kernel is installed ls /usr/src you should see an entry like linux-2.4.18-3 If so cd /usr/src/linux-2.4 cp configs/<right config for your machine> .. (copies kernel config) make mrproper (cleans system) cp ../(whatever you called the file you copied) make menuconfig you will see a menu structure - just do two things first go to file systems and set ntfs support to modules - it says write support is dangerous but I have never had any problems with it YMMV) Then go to the last entry and set debugging to off (if it is on) exit and save file make dep make clean make bzImage then do mv /lib/modules/2.4.18-3 /lib/modules/2.4.18-3bk make modules make modules_install then cp arch/i386/boot/bzmage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18 cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.18 rm /boot/System.map ln -s /boot/System.map-2.4.18 /boot/System.map mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18.img 2.4.18-3 vi /boot/grub/grub.conf move cursor to first stanza, then type 4yy (this copies) then press insert key, followed by return then press escape type p for paste, then press insert again and edit the entry that has just appeared to reflect the files you have just created. type:wq to save then reboot If everything goes well you will be running a new faster kernel with ntfs support _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
