Public bug reported:

Because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdump-
tools/+bug/2103470, this bug was obscured to me until I increased my
system's total RAM to 96GB, at which point kdump-tools could finally get
this far.

Ubuntu 24.10
kdump-tools 1:1.10.3ubuntu4

I would expect the kernel crash dump collector to start up, collect a
crash dump, and then either reboot or put up signposting indicating that
it has finished collecting a crash dump and is ready to reboot when I'd
like it to do so.

Instead, however, it starts into a Busybox shell (ash). This is after
decrypting the encrypted root and registering the LVM VG underneath, but
before actually _mounting_ the (ext4) LV. I'm able to mount these on
/root, which silences some of the errors, but the rescue environment
then tells me that it cannot start '' and the crash kernel itself panics
because init has died.
