You're already using a non-FC2 kernel by using nVidia's provided 16k
stacks kernel, and the NTFS kernel module is packaged based on the
standard FC-2 kernel

Now, nVidia has fixed their drivers to work with 4k stacks - so why are
you doing otherwise?

There have also been some recent security holes, which is why The Fedora
Project have pushed an update to the FC-2 kernel - it is now pretty much
in sync with the FC-3 kernel (and nvidia drivers *do* work)

I'd suggest recompiling, to reduce problems, especially since you're
already using one binary only driver...
