After the system is up everything works. However, during start up a message is printed that reports a failure: it says ntfs-3g is not a know file type. I don't remember the exact message but it clearly says the driver is not available.
After boot up everything works when the driver should be available. I changed the configuration so that the default ntfs module is used (which provides read-only access) and it worked. I don't have access to my PC now, but adding the ntfs-3g driver to the initial ramdisk should solve the problem, right?
Thanks,
Nima

required modules are not yet available.
Does 'mount -a' (as root) work after bootup?
