The old ntfs driver doesn't support clusters greater than the kernel page
size, i.e. 4096 bytes on an Athlon CPU. You need to use the new ntfs
driver if you want support for your partition I am afraid. Unfortunately
we don't provide a patch for the redhat kernels for the new driver so you
would have to start using a stock 2.4.21 kernel and then apply our ntfs
patch giving you the new driver... Alternatively you can try and use the
latest 2.6.0-test kernel (I believe RedHat have got an rpm released of
that.)
See our docs/FAQ for details: http://linux-ntfs.sf.net/help.html
