Aaarrrgghhh!!! Another mount problem

jojojo · 05-27-2006, 06:28 PM

Before this i used kernel 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5. When i mount it, it works fine. I can access my ntfs partition and play mp3 files.

Just now I've just installed kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5.i586.rpm
. I save the rpm under /home/jo directory. Before that I've also updated my FC5 using yum. When i tried to install the new kernel, it displayed:

Code:

[root@localhost jo]# rpm -i kernel-module*
        package kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5 is already installed

Then I type lsmod to find if there's any ntfs, it displayed:

Code:

[root@localhost /]# lsmod

There's no ntfs. So I try to load it, but it display error:

Code:

[root@localhost /]# modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Error inserting ntfs (/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko): Invalid module format

What's the problem?

zeitounator · 05-27-2006, 06:36 PM

Code:

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
yum install kmod-ntfs

done... You'll only have to check that, in case of a kernel upgrade with yum, the corresponding module has been released (wich is usually done quickly) before your accept the upgrade.

Good luck

NTFS is still extremely dangerous to use with Linux.

If you have anything of value (not including the M$ Wind0ws OS itself), I strongly discourage using the kernel mod.

jojojo · 05-27-2006, 11:12 PM

After I've installed the kmod-ntfs, what should I do?

I've tried to load the ntfs, but still a problem...

Code:

[root@localhost /]# modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Error inserting ntfs (/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko): Invalid module format

jojojo · 05-27-2006, 11:46 PM

Or is it because I haven't remove the old kernel (2.6.15...) because right now I have 2 kernel. Do I have to remove the old kernel?

When I log in to the old kernel (2.6.15....), I can access ntfs partition, but when i log into the new kernel (2.6.16....), I cannot. It says:

[root@localhost /]# modprobe ntfs
FATAL: Error inserting ntfs (/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/kernel/fs/ntfs/ntfs.ko): Invalid module format

Why? It doesn't let you mount NTFS partitions rw anyway. What damage can you do reading an NTFS partition?

This is not where kmod-ntfs is supposed to install. I just tried to install with yum as I just advised you to do and it worked like a charm. The module resides in /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5/extra/ntfs

My guess is that modprobe is finding your old not working module in the path before the good one and using it. Did you remove your old package (rpm -e kernel-module-ntfs) ?

jojojo · 05-29-2006, 08:40 AM

You mean the 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 ntfs module? No, I haven't remove it.

In the /lib/modules file I have 2 files. One is the 2.6.15... and one is the 2.6.16...

Is it suppose to contain 2 files?

zeitounator · 05-29-2006, 09:00 AM

I mean did you remove all the "kernel-module-ntfs" packages since the new naming scheme (and therefore the new one you installed) is "kmod-ntfs".

List all the corresponding modules with:

Code:

rpm -q kernel-module-ntfs

and remove all the ones that eventually show up with:

Code:

rpm -e <full package name with version pasted from result of above command>
