Debian 10 cannot trigger crash to test kdump

cn flag

I have set up kdump to debug an issue, and now I am trying to test it, because the issue I am trying to debug does not create a file in /var/crash. However, the test also does not work.

I am executing these commands as root:

echo "1" > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

No crash is triggered. The system (all screens) just freezes without any terminal output.

kdump configuration:

DUMP_MODE:        kdump
USE_KDUMP:        1
KDUMP_SYSCTL:     kernel.panic_on_oops=1
KDUMP_COREDIR:    /var/crash
crashkernel addr: 0x2b000000

   /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img: symbolic link to /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-4.19.0-18-amd64
current state:    ready to kdump

kexec command:
  /sbin/kexec -p --command-line="BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.19.0-18-amd64 root=UUID=344b0749-09f1-442e-aec0-296b0ec2fa1f ro quiet nr_cpus=1 systemd.unit=kdump-tools.service irqpoll nousb ata_piix.prefer_ms_hyperv=0" --initrd=/var/lib/kdump/initrd.img /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
