Hello Steve,  Kernel panic with  the kernel is often a problem of a
corrupt media, or corrupt download.

Or bad hardware. How long does the system run before this happens? Could it be a heat-related issue? a RAM issue? The "virtual address 00000000" part of the oops, in particular, suggests to me a RAM issue.

Although kernel panics are supposed to alert you to programming errors in the kernel, I have, in 8 years of using Linux, never actually encountered a kernel panic that was not related to bad media, bad RAM, or CPU overheating. (This is all using released kernels, never experimental ones -- I'm sure the experience is different for kernel developers.)
