Using phpMyAdmin to dump a Drupal DB is not recommended procedure, you
may have lost some of the data due to connection timeout issues.  I

Is the password to your root user root?

Check the php, apache and system log files.  Maybe your memory_limit
needs adjusted?

I don't know, add a php file that simply does <?php phpinfo(); ?>.
