Has anyone setup diskdump on Fedora Core 6? I rebuilt the kernel with
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=Y and am trying to set it up but receive this error when I
try to initialize the partition:
ERROR: Module diskdump does not exist in /proc/modules

I check /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ and yes, indeed, the only *dump* is
joydump. So, of course modprobe gives me this:
 modprobe diskdump
FATAL: Module diskdump not found.

So, now what can I do? I cannot find the module. Any good references on
setting up Disk Dump? I listed the available packages with "dump" via
yum list available | grep dump
 and  installed one with no luck:
rpm -qi kernel-kdump

Thanks for any pointers,
TimJowers
P.s> I also see a tip from a few years back about the supported storage
adapters but I'm not that far along yet to run into this:
