NTFS support broken?

[LesNagy]

I am new to Fedora Core and have version 6 running with all the latest updates. I want to access my windows drives and started to learn how to get them mounted. I ran into a problem. I checked with Package Manager and it reported NTFS modules to install. I started the install of these and it came back with this error:

[('package kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 is already installed', (2, None, 0L)), ('file /boot/System.map-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', (7, '/boot/System.map-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', 0L)), ('file /boot/config-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', (7, '/boot/config-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', 0L)), ('file /boot/symvers-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.gz from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', (7, '/boot/symvers-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6.gz', 0L)), ('file /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 from install of kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6 conflicts with file from package kernel-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', (7, '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2868.fc6', 0L))]

Package manager shows no NTFS modules installed before or after this.

I can recommend this guide, i am also new to fedora core 6(linux in general) and it worked just fine. Don't know if this of any help to you, but it's worth a try

That guide is where I started myself, but thanks for the link anyway.

Hello:
You have an i586 kernel installed due to a bug in anaconda, which is causing you some grief.
You can have a look at this thread on how to correct the situation:

The kernel issue was my problem. I started to fix it but too many things were broken by the change so I just wiped out and reinstalled. Seeing as I was only getting things up to speed, this was a quicker fix than chasing down all the broken modules and dependencies that were popping up.
