Besides the problems, described at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408971. I tried to boot a third system with an initialramfs created by dracut. I tried to follow the documentation at http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dracut. root # mount /boot root # RootCmd root # dracut Wath is RootCmd?

You want /dev/md125 not /dev/md124, yes? So why you're using md124 UUID and not md125? Please try root=UUID=da1664df-139b-4f90-9ddd-e01cbc55ea2b instead (in kernel command line args).
No answer and doesn't seem to be a bug, but reopen if it is, please.
