Recompiling Kernel for NTFS Reading

(1/4) > >>

billy_gates:
How would I go about "recompiling" the Red Hat 8 Kernal for NTFS reading.  I don't want to write to the NTFS, i've heard that that usually corrups the FS, I just want to read it.  if it helps the kernal im running is:
2.4.18-19.8.0
as per the Grub booter and the Package Manager
this is not the standard RH8 Kernel this is one you download from the Red Hat network as an upgrade kernel.  They said it was specifically for Athlons but im not sure if that is true.

voidmain:
Follow these instructions:

http://voidmain.kicks-ass.net/redhat/redhat_8_kernel_2.4.19_from_source.html

Except skip 5 lines starting at the part about downloading the new kernel with wget. And when you type "make xconfig" which will bring up the kernel menu search through it until you find "NTFS file system support (read only)". It will be under the "File systems" menu. Change the option from "n" to "m".

I get all the way until i type make modules then it says error 2 and then i type make modules_install and it says error 2 then i type make install and it says error 2.  Then when I restart, there is a custom kernel but when i boot into it it panics right when it says init.  I have only one concern is that i have kernel 2.4.18-19 but the custom one said 2.4.18-14custom.  Also in the /usr/src there was only a linux-2.4 and a linux-2.4.18-14 there was no linux-2.4.18-19.  i tried using both of these 2 folders with /boot/config-2.4.18-14 and /boot/config-2.4.18-19 both gave all of the same errors and same kernel panic in same place and left the same 2.4.18-14custom in the bootloader.  I am kind of lost on this, but I then noticed that he wasn't able to compile it correctly on his 1.6 ahtlon, I have a 1.7 it may just be my cpu.  Are there any other ways to recompile that may work?
