Hi, I notice that you are using 2.4.26 with lkcd. It is not noted anywhere, but you should change your DUMP_FLAGS in /etc/lkcdutils/dump to be:
DUMP_FLAGS="0" Then run /etc/init.d/lkcdutils to re-load the config. Then simulate a crash with the sysrq (note: this will cause your system to reboot, when it did not before!), after the system reboots, look in /var/log/dump to see if your dump was saved. It should be saved on boot. I've noted this in the README.Debian for the next upload. Also, you can join #lkcd on irc.freenode.net if you need help walking through the procedure.
