If I change the "!" to "/" in grub's menu.lst, the system reboots fine.
I would guess though that the "!" is an accepted delimiter and should be 
supported.

Actually, grub has the following options in its menu.lst:
# kopt=root=/dev/mapper/Debian-root ro
# kopt_2_6=root=/dev/mapper!Debian-root ro

It could well be that the same goes for RAID (or anything that 
uses /dev/mapper)!
