Kernel modules are special: you often want to have multiple versions
installed, one per installed kernel. Including the kernel
version/release in the module's package name means that rpm/yum won't
try to remove older module packages for other kernels when you install a
new one.

So in this case, the package *name* is
kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5, the package version is 2.1.27 and
the release is 0.rr.10.5.
