Problem after compiling the kernel in RH9

Hi,
I've just re-installed RH9 and noticed it doesn't support NFTS read-only out of the box so i re-comiled the standard 2.4.20 kernel with NTFS support, copied it over to the boot partition, added an entry into the grub menu list and rebooted only to be informed that it's unable to open an initial console and gave me a Kernel panic telling me to try passing an "init=" option to the kernel.

I've had this problem before but i've not ben using linux for about a year now and i can't remember how to reslove the issue. I'm not bothered about compiling the 2.6.0 kernel just yet because i'm starting work on creating my own LFS system and I'll be installing the 2.6.0 after i've finished that I just need to be able to read my NTFS drives to i can copy all the linux pacgages i've downloaded.

Any help,hacks or general work-arounds will be greatly recieved.

GRUB menu...

default=3
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat (2.4.20-8smp)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8smp ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img
title Red Hat-up ( 2.4.20-8 )
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-8 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-8.img
title Red Hat w/NTFS (not working)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /redhatntfs ro root=/dev/hde5 hdc=ide-scsi
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

Thanks

go here linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net and download the needed RPM .

remember NTFS read write support is dodgy , so i suggest u only mount NTFS partiton as READ-ONLY .

KYRO.

Thanks a lot for that link. I'm getting the RMP now and i'll get back to you if it doesn't work.

I know about the read-write support not being very good but i only need read support so i can get the packages off the drive and put them on to the ext3 partition and so i can read my mp3s off the drive.

Thanks again
