Create a directory /var/crash, and ensure that you have something like this in your /etc/sysconfig: # Set to the name of the device for kernel crashdumps, or `off' to # disable any statically configured dumpdev, or NO for no change. # The device should normally be one of the swap devices specified # in /etc/fstab. dumpdev=/dev/sd0b # Set to YES if you want kernel crashdumps to be saved for debugging savecore=YES Greg
