try out this,
1. rpm -ivh the_kernel.src.rpm
2. cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
3. depending on whether ure machine is running a 386/586/686 smp or uniprocessor
kernel at the moment (find out using 'uname -a') edit the correct config file,
eg.
kernel-2.4.18-i686.config
or
kernel-2.4.18-i686-smp.config
and change
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set
# CONFIG_NTFS_RW is not set
to
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
or
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y <== use this if you like taking risks and have nothing
to lose on your NTFS partition and get a kick out of reinstalling NT
every now and then. ;-) Personally, I wouldnt recommend it.
4. Once that is done,
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
5. rpm -bb --target i686 kernel-2.4.spec
