  That error message will occur if kvm_dump_mkheader() does not find a valid
dump header.  There are several checks in kvm_dump_mkheader() which will
return an error, but not provide error message text.

  I think this can occur if there is no current header in the dump partition.
This could be because no dump was written with the new header information,
a system configuration change caused the location of the header to change,
or if normal swapping has overwritten a previous dump.
