something in your options is wrong and if you have kernel automounter
support compiled in it will mount.

did you compile it as a module, run mondules-conf and then modprobed
ntfs ??

its compiled into the kernel, not as a module
but modprobe ntfs is returning an error FATAL: module ntfs is not found

Sometimes the simplest answers are the best: I think your ntfs-module
just isn't there - to change this make sure 1.) that /usr/src/linux
points to your current kernel-source and not to an older version
2.)that in make menuconfig ntfs-suport is marked with [M]
and then run make modules_install and modules-update .... I think that
should work

Add ntfs to /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6

It will with devfs but not with udev.

I've a 2.4 kernel, but I think it should be the same for 2.6 kernels.
The ntfs module should load automatically at the moment you need it. At
least on my computer it does without further invention....

Funny. In mine, I only load my Ethernet card and USB modules. The rest
are all loaded automagically

CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
(yes. I have it mounted automatically at boot via /etc/fstab)

Do you use udev or devfs? devfs load the modules automatically, udev
does not.

Not true, kernel loads the filesystem modules automagically regardless
of whether you use devfs or udev. I use udev (I don't even have devfs
compiled into kernel) and have following in my kernel config:
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=m
I don't load any of these during boot and still can mount iso CDs and
NTFS partitions and modules get autoloaded. Of course, you need to
have enabled Automatic kernel module loading (CONFIG_KMOD) under
Loadable modules support in your kernel config.

So it does. When did that start working? I know I had to put the modules
in autoload previously.

That is enabled, and always has been AFAIK. I don't remember enabling it
separately.
