What version of Linux are you running on this machine?  Some versions have
issues with loopback mounts/page cache/buffer cache which would leave the
filesystems view of the file inconsistent.

If you are ever in any doubt, its always a good idea to copy the file, and
re-mount it to check the contents.

Also, if you can supply the textual parts of the dump, that'll help to
work out why the kernel is going wrong (and the kernel version number
you're trying to boot of course!)
