I have CentOS 5.8 system. And I want to set up the kdump. I was following this configuration steps on kdump. However I was not able to locate /etc/kdump.conf. I tried using the find and locate command to find kdump.conf, but it return no result. Does it mean that kdump is not installed or supported on my system?

Because you haven't installed the kexec-tools
package:

Kdump is supported on CentOS 5.8 but the instructions that you followed assume that you have the kexec-tools
package installed. Install kexec-tools
and then follow the instructions.
