You will have to change the kernel's source configuration and recompile
install it. Usually, in my experience you only have remake the modules. 
If you have the kernel source installed (dir /usr/src/linux) cd to its
directory and run make xconfig (X needs to be up), find the file system
section, enable NTFS read support as a module.  Save the config and
exit.  At this point I do a "make dep" command. After that a "make
modules" and then a "make modules_install".

Your mount command should be able to mount the NTFS partition read only
now.  (ex: mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /c)

If the kernel source directory isn't installed, you can install it from
the CD with the following command (after the CD is mounted of course)

rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-source-XXXXX.rpm

substitute the actual version/name for XXXXX above.
