I received the 4GB dump via the link you send by mail. It does not contain any
dump at all. It is a tarball containing this:

total 4644064
-rw-r----- 1 geraldsc geraldsc 62914560000 Jun 12 23:14 root
-rw-r----- 1 geraldsc geraldsc   799118829 Jun 15 11:11 STATEFILE.gz
-rw-r----- 1 geraldsc geraldsc  2097152000 Jun 12 23:10 swap

I have no idea what to do with that. A proper dump would contain a vmcore plus
a vmlinux with debuginfo.

Please just attach the kernel dmesg output here, so that we have a chance to at
least see why the kernel thinks that that the pages are bad. I assume that your
log only contains the "Bad page state" warnings because of loglevel settings,
those are printed with KERN_ALERT, while the (important) rest is printed with
KERN_WARNING loglevel.
