Recompiling Kernel for NTFS Reading

If you still have the src.rpm file could you rerun the rpmbuild command and let me know what it says? BTW, if you didn't have the Kernel Development installed at the time you tried to run it you *would* have gotten errors. You can run the rpmbuild command and it won't overwrite your currently installed drivers in case you are worried about that.

And by the way, are you *sure* you are running the new kernel? The binary RPM should *not* work with the 2.4.20 RPM without compiling from source.

i think i may have said this in the non linux lingo, but when i ran rpmbuild --rebuild nvidia-kernal.src.rpm in the 2.4.18-19 kernel it gave an error, i then updated the kernel to 2.4.20 and ran the exact same command with the exact same file with no error.  I have every package installed so that was not the problem.  I also removed the older linux kernels from my Grub boot loader so I can no longer boot into the old kernels to see if i still get the error.

Ok, I understand. Is it possible that you had not yet installed the Kernel Development packages when you ran it the first time?
