Actually, this may not be the upstream bug (but still could be). I
looked at the dmesg and had a hunch that it might be lvm. So I
reinstalled without LVM and now it boots (yea).  The working partition
table is:

$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc
        #                    type name                 length   base     ( size 
)  system
/dev/hdc1     Apple_partition_map Apple                    63 @ 1        ( 
31.5k)  Partition map
/dev/hdc2         Apple_Bootstrap untitled               1954 @ 64       
(977.0k)  NewWorld bootblock
/dev/hdc3         Apple_Bootstrap boot                 500001 @ 2018     
(244.1M)  NewWorld bootblock
/dev/hdc4         Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root                6835938 @ 502019   (  
3.3G)  Linux native
/dev/hdc5         Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap                1000001 @ 7337957  
(488.3M)  Linux swap
/dev/hdc6              Apple_Free Extra              20998874 @ 8337958  ( 
10.0G)  Free space

Block size=512, Number of Blocks=29336832
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0

$ df | grep hdc
/dev/hdc4              3364236    521580   2671760  17% /
/dev/hdc3               234297     15852    205945   8% /boot

When it was failing, /dev/hdc4 was an LVM partition that took the rest
of the disk, then inside of it I had two LVs: root (ext3 at 3.5GB) and
swap (at 512MB).
