Hmm. It may be a kernel bug. Add the option debug to the kernel
commands line, this may give you more output from the initrd. But if
it's the kernel panics before the initrd is startet you have no chance
to debug this. Than it's a problem of the kernel.
I found the problem; the initrd didn't have all the necessary drivers
for my card. I ended up updating the initrd so that it included those
drivers. The error was definitely cryptic though... no mention
anywhere that it was network related. Thanks for putting eyes on it.

Err, I left out a key word there. For my *network* card.
Oh well, so this was actually not related to the missing partition tables at
all? That just means it can't boot off of NFS, and thus panics?
Exactly. The fact that it loaded the RAID/disk drivers in the initrd
right before the network drivers was really misleading, especially since
there was no reason at all given for the panic.
