Gentoo: Mounting Large Disk via USB

I got 2 Western Digital 500 Gigs hard drives that formatted as NTFS file system at hand but not able to mount it, I choose to recompile my kernel as I have been using 2.6.19 for a while and it's time to move to 2.6.20. I read thread from the forum that I have to disable this feature in kernel in order to get it mounted properly -

CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m

I choosed to compile it as module so that I may be able to enable it if I need it. Then once I have finished compiling my kernel and reboot, I mounted the hard drive to my external enclusure, connect it to the laptop via usb and switched on the power , I can view the information via dmesg -

It is ntfs file system, therefore I mount it with ntfs-3g,

shell>sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt

shell>mount
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,blksize=4096)

I see this message in /var/log/messages -

Jun 21 11:26:49 trinity ntfs-3g[4715]: Mounted /dev/sdb1 (Read-Write, label "Sto
rage1", NTFS 3.1)

shell>df -h
/dev/sdb1 466G 101M 466G 1% /mnt

We all love big storage, don't you?

Cheers ;]
