Well running root on raid1 is not an issue with sarge. Running root (or at least the /boot directory) on anything more advanced than plain raid1 is just asking for trouble. > WARNING: If you're trying to use sarge, you'll need to stick with a > 2.6.13 or earlier kernel, or go through a big mess to manually create a > working initrd image.

If you use backports.org as an addition, then you have the tools needed to use a newer kernel. I wouldn't try a newer kernel either unless I at least had backports of the new initramfs-tools and dependancies.
