I can confirm its presence; I just now pulled in kmod-ntfs-2.1.27-3.2.6.19_1.2911.6.5.fc6.i686. The error may be harmless, until one removes the older kernel, so this could be a very subtle bug for some folks. I do not see this in the fglrx package; there is no symlink in the equivalent directory. I have a box I had not updated which requires the kmod-nvidia-96xx package. It does not have the kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.6.4.fc6. There the symlink does not exist, and the file is present. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
