Thanks! I'll see how close I can get to this for my local testing...

If you have a "dmesg-ramoops-0" there, something Oopsed. On a clean
shutdown, only "console-ramoops-0" will be recorded. Can you double
check by deleting everything in /var/lib/systemd/pstore/ and rebooting?

If you still get a dmesg-ramoops-0 file, can you upload that somewhere
so I can look at it?

Also, can you send the contents of /proc/iomem ?
