Johan Hovold reported that removing the legacy ntfs driver broke boot for him since his fstab uses the legacy ntfs driver to access firmware from the original Windows partition. Use ntfs3 as an alias for legacy ntfs if CONFIG_NTFS_FS is selected. This is similar to how ext3 is treated.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
