You can obtain LKCD version 4.0, the patch and the RPM, from
http://lkcd.sourceforge.net/download/4.0/
This includes module support for dumping, a considerable number of
changes to improve 'lcrash' as a whole, a move to /dev/dump mechanisms
over /dev/vmdump, etc.
If you have a previous version of LKCD on your system, please
remove it before installing this version. 4.0 and beyond should
require few changes to your system configuration.
My thanks for the kind folks who have made contributions, additions,
bug fixes, or comments to improve LKCD over the last few months.
Now that there are a considerable number of people working on LKCD,
we hope to have more frequent releases, with major improvements
moving forward, until eventually LKCD becomes a default part of
the Linux kernel. My special thanks to IBM, who have contributed
a lot of time, energy, comments, code, people, and general good will
towards LKCD and all of its open source community developers. I can't
say enough about them -- it's been great having them work on LKCD.
One other last point, we will be moving the mailing list for
LKCD from 'lkcd@xxxxxxxxxxx' to 'lkcd-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
in the next few weeks. This is a heads-up that the mailing list
is going to change slightly. We're migrating everything off of
oss.sgi.com onto a more easily maintained server.

P.S. 4.0.1 will probably be around the corner shortly, since
there were a few last-minute bugs that people pointed out
that, while annoying, didn't need to hold up 4.0.
