problem in installing kernel and mounting ntfs partition
hy,
I am a novice to linux and have fedora core 1(yarrow) on my system.I am trying to access/mount my windows ntfs partition in fedora. For this purpose I installed the kernal update rpm package from source forge and ran it.
I was unaware of my computer architecture so I installed kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i386.rpm. But after sometime during net search I came across the command uname -r -p and I came to know that my computer achitecture is i686. So I again went to source forge and downloaded the appropriate rpm package (kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i686.rpm ).
Now the problem is whenever I try to install the correct rmp package I receive an error as follow:
# rpm -ihv kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i686.rpm

ERROR: This RPM cannot be installed yet.
This RPM requires kernel-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.
You already have it installed, but it is not running.
Please reboot and select that kernel, then retry the install.

error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199. nptl

after that with another forum's help I tried to tackle the kernel as follow:
Remove old one: rpm -e kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i386.rpm
but when I executed this command receive the following error:
[root@c199b root]# rpm -e kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i386.rpm
error: package kernel-ntfs-2.4.22-1.2199.nptl.i386.rpm is not installed
please help me in this regard and keep ur help as simple as possible since I m a novice to linux.
