This could conceivably be a bug in a specific network driver, unlikely
as it seems.

Kevin:

I need to see the full panic messages (a photo will be fine).  Please
switch to a text console to run ls.  You may need to add 'vga=6' to the
kernel command line to avoid messages scrolling off the screen.

Which network driver are you using?  Can you trace the network traffic
for the directory listing by running tcpdump or Wireshark on the server?

Ben.
