I want to enable kernel crash dumps for my Debian 5.0.7 machine. The kernel version is 2.2.26 amd64.

How can I configure this?

Thanks.. Looks like we need to install some patches and enable it.. Is there any easy way like just install a package and reboot to enable the kernel dump? – Anandan May 8 '11 at 17:12
Try this: apt-get install kdump-tools – ceving May 8 '11 at 19:06
