Now I have to test my ntfs reading and see if installing nvidia drivers works on this kernel.

nVidia drivers definitely work. You just need to get the *.src.rpm version of the nVidia kernel RPM. And install it by:
# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel*src.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel*
If you already have the nVidia GLX RPM installed you should not have to reinstall it.

To tell you the truth on my old Kernel even with source rpm's when i type rpmbuild --rebuild blah.rpm it would error
The new kernel is awesome, i can read my NTFS drive flawlessly, I installed the nvidia drivers, everything goes faster and I can run my monitor at 1600x1200 75 with full 24 bit color now. Thank God for Void Man and his web site.

Could you do me a big favor and let me know the exact name of the RPM that gives you the error with that command and where I can find it, and of course what the error message is? This should not happen.

the file is NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191.src.rpm i forget wut the error was but it was something like couldn't find/make an nvidi.o folder/file i think it was a kernel error not a download/rpm error since i used the same file with the new kernel and it worked fine.
