The latest kernel is 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl, so you probably have not 
applied any updates to your system. I am only going on the old kernel 
information.

Anyway, your kernel is probably panicking because of the lack of an 
intird image. You either have to create the intird image or not 
reference one in the grub file. Also, if you have no intird image, you 
must use actual device references within the kernel line.

Another note: there is an add on rpm that is available where you can 
install it with the Fedora kernel. You install this and you will then 
have the ability to read an ntfs file system.

Here is the link to the rpms for the ntfs module. This is not a kernel, 
but the modules for different kernels and archetectures. I just looked 
and there is a module for the *-2115.nptl kernel.
