 |

I'm having 3 NTFS partitions on my harddisk. Windows XP is using this drives. How can I get into that partitions to play mp3's from the 3 harddisks?
I have set NTFS modules load into the kernel. |

Supposing, hda5 was the partition in question, adding
| Code: | | /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 ntfs ro,auto,umask=0002 0 0 |
to /etc/fstab would automount your partition user-readible at startup (read-only). Make sure your mountpoint (/dev/hda5 in this case) exists. |

If reboot after this I'm having the following error:
| Code: | | map /mnt/hda5 does not exist. |
in /mnt only the map floppy exist.

create all the mount points you need. in this case, you should (as root) create /mnt/hda5. (I suppose Voltago meant to say make sure /mnt/hda5 exists.)
reboot after this and it should work.

Afters I made the maps. I reboot.
I see the following:
| Code: | * Mounting local filesystems
modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ntfs
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
* Some local filesystems failed to mount. |
I have kernel 2.4.
I'm sure I have set "NTFS file system support (read only)" in make menuconfig. I also have recompiled the kernel |

You have probably done this, but just to be sure: After you recompiled your Kernel, did you copy your bzImage to /boot?

Ok, its been a while since I compiled my kernel, so I don't remember exactly (and besides, mine's 2.6.3, and I suggest you upgrate too, sometime soon), but did you include ntfs support as a module or did you make it part of the kernel? (I think I had this option with 2.6.3, don't know if its the same with 2.4 -- there is a substantial difference in the menuconfig options for 2.4 and 2.6.x).
From your dmesg it looks like it was added as a module but you might have forgotten to emerge the relevant module? (I dont know which this would be cos I've not done it that way).
Hope this helps.

Hmm, I don't know much to help. The only thing I can think of is to try a newer kernel; perhaps your 2.4 kernel is missing some patches (especially true if its from a vanilla source). Or you can hope for someone more knowledgeable than me to come along  Good luck!

open up /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
if it says ntfs, delete that line. Basically, the init process is being told to load the ntfs module, however you have ntfs built directly into the kernel, so it doesn't need to load a module.

Edit: Oops, the first time I read your error, I didn't notice that the kernel says it doesn't have ntfs support. Just to be absolutely sure, did you mount your boot partition before copying your bzImage to boot? |
