Cannot Enable NTFs

chem1 · 10-02-2002, 02:34 PM

Hello,
I am tryingto enable NTFS support in Kernel2.4.18-10. I am using the instruction laid out at

http://www.getlinuxonline.com/omp/di.../ompntfs2.html

I have used this page beofre to enable NTFS support for KErnle 2.4.18-3

Everything goes ok. Its only when I run the last step:

/sbin/depmod -a

that I get the following message

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.18-10/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.o

Can anybody guide me where the mistake is...or where can I find a log which tells me what the wrror was?

Thanks in advance...

why don't you get a real complete source of the latest kernel (2.4.19) ? maybe there are a bug in this patch.

NTFS suport works ok with this version of kernel... I've tryed it a few minutes ago. Btw, when compiling new kernel don't compile NTFS support as a module, but use a built-in function, it works for me.

ok,
Can you guide me how to do that i.e how to compile a built-in function

Thankx in advance...

from that site:

Click "Ok" to load the config and exit the dialog box.

Click "File Systems"
Scroll down and find "NTFS filesystem support (read only)"

Click "m" to build NTFS support as a module.

*** Click "Y" to build NTFS support into the kernel ***

hope that helps... good luck
