[Linux-NTFS-Dev] Can't install kernel-ntfs rpm package into Red Hat 8.0

[Barry Yu <bar...@ne...>]

I am using Red Hat 8.0 with kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0 and I downloaded the 
kernel-ntfs.2.4.18-17.8.0.i686.rpm, when start installing by command;

rpm -Uhv kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0.i686.rpm
Preparing ......                    ############ [100%]
        1: kernel-ntfs               ########### [100%]
depmod : ***** Unresolved symbols in 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-17.8.0/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.0


After that I use : probemod ntfs and I saw more than one page of 
messages each line saying failed something, and I tried to mount the 
ntfs partition but can't because the ntfs not supported. Can someone help?

Hi Barry,

Hmm...  I've just booted in that kernel and the module installs
and works OK.  But you don't want to hear that :-)

Hopefully you've read the instructions and made sure you have
the correct module.  If not, erase (rpm -e) the old one or
force (rpm --force -Uhv...) the new one.

Alternatively:  RedHat have just released a new kernel for 8.0
which fixes a few security problems.  Download that and try the
matching module from my RedHat page.
