Found it! It was complaining about the iocharset "iso-8859-1" not
existing. I must have mistyped that when I was building the kernel. I
just stuck iocharset=iso8859-1 into my fstab and now it mounted just
fine. Thanks for the tip, didn't expect to find that in dmesg--I
thought that was just for boot-up messages.
