Did you download and install the kernel source to match the new kernel?
You can run 'up2date kernel-source' to get it, or download and install the
kernel-source rpm manually.

Perhaps try rebuilding the kernel with the same options as the official
kernel, and then add only the ntfs support you are looking for? Install
the latest kernel-source rpm, then:
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-5/
make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-{$YOUR_ARCH}.config .config
make (config, menuconfig, xconfig) #Select one, your choice.
(enable ntfs support, leave everything else at the default)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install
cp -a /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-5/arch/i386/boot/bzImage\
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-5custom
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.4.18-5custom
The above should compile the new kernel and modules, install everything,
add the new kernel to the grub menu, create the initrd.img file, etc.....
The new kernel should match the stock Red hat kernel, with the addition of
the added ntfs support. Note that there have been various examples of
ntfs access (even read only) damaging ntfs filesystems. This is one
reason given for not shipping the kernel with ntfs support built in.
Hope that helps,
