Cam you share the console messages you see when the crash kernel boots? Or do you see nothing after the crash is introduced via echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger Generally, depending on your test machine arch, it is useful to use earlycon/earlyprintk to see if the crash kernel produced any useful message until the actual console device became operational. Can you try setting the earlycon/earlyprintk settings and share the crash kernel logs messages after the same?
