WORKAROUND/POSSIBLE SOLUTION

I have confirmed that the missing "jme.ko" module is indeed the culprit.
I have done the following:

1) Take the original netinstall initrd.gz from a Kubuntu 11.10 i386 alternate 
CD and unpack it using the instructions in 
http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt
2) Copy jme.ko from a working Kubuntu 11.10 (take care to use the correct 
kernel version, should be 3.0.0-12) into the 
lib/modules/3.0.0-12-generic/kernel/drivers/net directory that was just created
3) Re-create initrd.gz using the mkinitramfs script described in 
http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt
4) Copy the new initrd.gz to the location where the netboot files are stored on 
the server
5) Start autoinstall and enjoy.

The same method should work for any other missing modules.
