Yeah -- although it depends whether you're using a particular
Linux distribution or just building your own kernel from 
upstream sources.

RHEL3 was 2.4 based, and it had two kernel core-dumping facilities,
netdump and diskdump; other distros used the LKCD facility, but
none of them were ever accepted upstream.
