No.. it claimed there was no valid dump device configured..

I have a swap partition, that is 6G, and my box has 4G of ram.  Also, later 
this evening, it apparently panic'd again, but my screen was off, and I 
couldnt get it to do anything without a hard reboot.. and it appeared to have 
-attempted- to savecore, but said "permission denied" even though /var/crash 
exists and was writeable by root.

I have since created another directory, chown'd it 777 and set it as the 
dumpdir.
