Hi, Suse 9.1 installed (new) kernel 2.6.4-54.5-default now installed after YOU on saturday.

Now I found that I could not reach my win-xp on NTFS..found not in fstab..added with ro as usually. mount -a Surprise..mount: fs type NTFS not supported by kernel.

When installing the 2nd drive with xp was there..but seem not to be detected. suse 9.0 had no problem.

Please is there a way to fix this?

I got the same message. After a reboot everything was fine.

The standard install of 9.1 gave me a window called "My Computer"--instantly renamed to "This Computer"-- on which my Windows drive (a separate h/d) appears, and I can get a menu of everything on the drive in GUI format, just like Windows. I sure wish I could get that same output in Linux! But you can't put the Linux drive in "My Computer" and you can only get your user directory from the GUI. Phooey!

Maybe I misunderstand, but the GUI is Konqueror. If I want the main drive I just type file:/ in the address line, or click my home drive, and click the up arrow until I am at the root. Greg Engel

Thanx, Greg. that seems to work. For a GUI O/S, there are a lot of things that are certainly not obvious to the casual user. --doug On Tuesday 01 June 2004 08:06, Greg Engel wrote:

The ntfs module is there. Did you try "modprobe ntfs" before attempting the mount?

No..but here is the output..nothing?.. Suse:~ # modprobe ntfs Suse:~ # Thanks..HTH..any hints please? -- Johan Registered Linux User #330034 May this be a good day for learning

That's good. No output means no errors

Suse:~ # modprobe ntfs Suse:~ # Thanks..HTH..any hints please?

After the modprobe, doesn't it work to mount the ntfs partition?

Nope..same complaint.
