I got this error after upgrading a Debian machine (x86-64) from Stretch
to Buster. Upgrade is successful, but the next boot it crashes.

Thanks for the details. What was the last known good kernel version
that did not exhibit this issue on your system?

There isn't a last known good version. As I said, the issue appeared after an OS upgrade, not after a kernel one.
4.20.17 on Stretch was [1] working. After upgrade to Buster, kernel panic came out and I decided to try with other kernel versions.

The machine is an Asus B360M-A with an Intel i7-8700 CPU and 16GB DDR4.
My kernel is 4.20.17 (from kernel.org, not a distribution kernel), but I
tried with 4.19.273 and 5.10.169 with the same .config.

Also just a quick note, since I noticed you mention it here: 4.20.y is
not supported (see kernel.org for a list of supported releases).
4.19.y and 5.10.y, however, are.

I know, it's the reason why I downloaded and tried 4.19.273 and 5.10.169 before opening the bug report. I wanted to report on a supported version.
Yesterday I tried also 6.2, with the same result.

[1] And *is* working in the original place. I always test OS upgrades on a cloned drive. I can restore from image the screwed copy, retry upgrade etc. Also dangerous things.
