Greetings once again...
Before I subscribed to this list, I sent a message which is currently being held by the moderators (no problem). Here is my porblem....
I have a dual boot laptop, Windows XP on the first partition (/dev/hda1) and FC3-RC1 (updated via yum on 10/28 to kernel 2.6.9-1.643). /dev/hda1 is formatted NTFS. Other versions of Linux including FC2 have allowed me access to NTFS filesystems. But now I get
[root@traveler john]# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/C mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
Which is not what I need. Unfortunately since there isn't a kernel-source rpm available, I can't easily compile a ntfs module. Being able to read the ntfs partition is critical, being able to write to it isn't. Since the actual release of FC3 is near, are there any plans to include ntfs support in the released version?

but a kernel src.rpm exists, and if you look back through the archives for this list and devel-list you will find the instructions on how to regenerate a kernel-source package. from the srpm if you really want to rebuild the kernel module for yourself instead of using a repository like livna.

Sorry, no. the Red Sox have used up this years quota of last minute miracles.

Wrong, if my assumption is correct that to build the NTFS modules you only need the headers that have been used to compile the running kernel. These are in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build and I have built Nvidia and lirc modules successfully using these headers.

So, you have your normal module makefile:
obj-m := foo.o
Then, you have a script (or just execute from command line in the module directory)
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
Lo and behold, out the other end comes foo.ko

Hey, cool beans! I've never built a kernel module that way, I've always had the kernel source tree installed to build it. Perhaps thats because I'm an old codger who learned to compile linux kernels on the 0.99 version kernels...:-)
Now I'll have to figure out how to build it the way you suggest! Thanks soo much!!

If you end up trying to build the module that is part of the kernel you might want to tale a look at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130754
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/
They suggest a kernel build process from the kernel-XXX.src.rpm
I've got the same problem with not having a kernel source rpm with respect to ntfs as well as using Nvidia drivers. How do we get a kernel source RPM ? A changelog would be nice too...
Thanks
