Hello,

I'm attempting to use linux-crashdump to debug an issue.  I've been 
following the documentation at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe

The exact steps I've done are:
Installed linux-crashdump:
sudo apt-get install linux-crashdump
Rebooted system to enable crashdump.

My test to force a crash:
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/panic_on_oops
echo c | sudo tee /proc/sysrq-trigger

However, I never get anything in /var/crash.  In fact the /var/crash 
directory didn't exist until I created it.  I've tried this on Lucid, 
Maverick and Natty with the same results.

Has anyone successfully used linux-crashdump recently, or suggest 
another tool like kdump?  Maybe I'm missing a step?

Thanks,

Joe
