Any/all help/hints are appreciated.

I can't answer why, but it's simply a matter that the
"linux_banner" pointer at address ffffffff803d42c8 contains
a zero. That all presumes that the translation of the
the kernel virtual address ffffffff803d42c8 into its
location in the dumpfile is correct, and that the dumpfile
contents are legitimate.
