vmhalt is for plain halt

Check the generic settings in /sys/firmware, they should reflect the
old-style bootparms.
grep -r . /sys/firmware/

And rhel 5.3 supports dumpconf, maybe there is a /etc/sysconfig/dumpconf
defining something different.

Details about dumpconf should be described in Device Drivers Book.
