I actually changed dumpdir to /usr/crash since /var did not have enough space to accomodate 512 MB. But /usr has 60gigs. When the kernel panics it just crashes, I never get a message saying "dumping...". Savecore upon reboot says no dumps found. So i believe the problem is that the system is just crashing before it has a chance to dump? I've tried doing a DDB backtrace upon a panic. And at the prompt, when i type in panic, the system just spits out the uptime minutes, and then dies...no info that something was dumped.

Does the kernel actually write the crashdump when it panics? What does savecore print during startup after the crash?
