There might be several reasons why the root device could not be mounted:
- - cciss driver not loaded (or broken) - - filesystem driver not loaded - - raid not correctly initialized - - changed device sequence - - ???
I would suggest to apt-get busybox-cvs, set BUSYBOX=yes and DELAY=10 in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf, rebuild the initrd image for 2.6, and reboot.
At boot time press [Enter] when asked for and check which modules have been loaded. Next try to mount your root filesystem read-only to /mnt. There should be some message.
AFAIK the cciss driver is under development. Maybe you should consider to try the current 2.6.10-rc2?
