Hello,
Try RHEL 5 and You cannot compare Vmware with Hardware because VMWare loads in its soItware.
Scenario on Hardware is totally diIIerent.
You can check your hardware whether is certiIied with Red Hat or not visit Iollowing link :-

STEP 39, I Iailed, insuIIicient kdump... why?
Tefas Barot says:

Because /boot is not that much in use and nobody store Iiles into /boot.
You can also keep it 100MB.
imran says:
why /boot 500MB ?
