If we have a test stuck at https://openqa.suse.de/tests/590222#step/welcome/10 we need debug logs for the developers.

as suggested by Oliver, a post_fail_hook call would be very useful, and may be a memory dump (but in this kind of cases, i don't see that its really necessary.

One suggestion would be that for similar cases, if the machine is still usable, not only press esc, but also collect dmesg and other logs.

we have this part already, see
https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests/installation/first_boot.pm#L92

The issue here is about the installation system failing to boot, not the installed system.

I should check if we still need the workaround as in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/714329#step/bootloader_uefi/6 or if the last PR replaces that.
