Core dump problem

[Julien Groselle <julien.groselle@gmail.com>]

Hello Debian users,

I want enable core dump on a debian squeeze server.

So I have downloaded the source code of kernel (2.6.32) and i have activate this options :

CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y

CONFIG_KEXEC=y

CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y

CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y

Compilation was successful, but i can't use core dump because the file /proc/vmcore doesn't exist...

But it seems to be essential to do the trick.

Could someone can help me to have core dump active on my server ?

Thanks in advance.
