Public bug reported: After creating a test crash (echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger), the Ubuntu splash screen is shown for around 20 seconds, with the dots being filled and cleared, then the system restarts into, what I assume is, the configured kdump-initrd-image and gives me a busybox shell. The system's root is not mounted, its block-device is not available under /dev.
Rebooting from there back to the normal system shows no dumped kernel under the configured /var/crash directory. /var/crash is part of the root fs, an ext4 mounted from /dev/nvme0n1p3 Expected behaviour: echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger should give a kdump file in /var/crash Actual behavior: no file i /var/crash, a busybox shell in the kexec:ed kernel.
