My apologies for posting an already solved problem, but dont know if its my ignorance that is not getting me to my desired results.....trying to mount an external usb hard drive(ntfs) in my system. In my CentOS box, I tried to install dkms, dkms-fuse, fuse and fuse-ntfs-3g as follows(including what happened) [root at Production mnt]# yum install dkms dkms-fuse fuse fuse-ntfs-3g Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

For instance, you need either a kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL, or (better solution) install kernel-smp-2.6.9-78.0.22.EL and boot the machine with it. If you run an "yum update" or "yum update kernel-smp" it should do that, unless you messed yum.conf with excludes or changed /etc/sysconfig/kernel... By the way, next time please use a subject that describes your issue and not just 'Welcome to the "CentOS" mailing list'. HTH, Filipe
