Re: [regression, bisected, pci/iommu] Bug 216865 - Black screen when amdgpu started during 6.2-rc1 boot with AMD IOMMU enabled

I booted 6.2-rc2 + the patch four times with early kdump enabled and panicked the kernel. There weren't any kdump or dmesg files saved to /var/crash though. Nothing showed up in the journal from boots where the problem happened. The amdgpu crash happened before systemd-journald started from what I could tell. I tried to rebuild /boot/initramfs-6.2.0-rc2+kdump.img with amd_iommu=off added to the kernel command line with dracut, but an error that the kdumpbase module couldn't be found was shown. I read that a different dump capture kernel could be used with kdump, but I haven't figured out how to use that with early kdump yet. If anyone has ideas how to get the kdump and dmesg log, let me know. Thanks.
