Few thoughts:

1) Are you certain your initramfs includes everything? My "config" file is a 
lot longer.

2) How are you generating the initramfs?

3) how are you adding it to the bootloader?

4) Have you tried embedding the initramfs into the kernel?

Also, can you provide the kernel messages leading to and including the panic?
