Summary0000487: .22 and .27 kernels crash on two disperate PowerEdge Machines
DescriptionTwo machines, one old, one new:

PowerEdge R520, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2430 v2 @ 2.50GHz

PowerEdge R7525, AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor

Both run the .16 kernel fine. When the .22 kernel came out,
I ran yum -y update on both machines and rebooted, but both machines
crashed on reboot.

The .22 and .27 kernels are fine on all other machines, including old HP
desktops as well as new PowerEdge machines.

One curious fact that may not be related is that on all other machines
under /boot, there is always a corresponding initramfs*kdump.img
to accompany every kernel, but on the failing machines these do not exist
for the .22 and .27 kernels. They do exist for the .16 kernel and previous
kernels.

I tried the .27 kernel on the old machine with no change. I've yet to try the
.27 kernel on the new machine as I suspect the behavior will not change.

Capturing the crash turns out to be non-trivial, as it scrolls too fast and my attempts
with the serial port have not worked.

So far what I've been able to capture with a video camera:

Later there is a kernel panic but the screen is blurry. I'll try to get better logs.

Steps To Reproduceyum -y update and reboot. .22 and .27 kernels crash, .16 is OK.
