I found out that the problem was that the “mdadm --assemble …”-call
failed because of the names of the arrays. For root:

   sda2 has wrong name

So I tried to remove the “name='hermione':2” (and all the others) from
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and now it boots.

Result: This does not boot:

  ARRAY /dev/md/2 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=edc699ab:86dacff1:4b646c0c:73e9f59e name='hermione':2

this does:

  ARRAY /dev/md/2 level=raid1 metadata=1.0 num-devices=2 UUID=edc699ab:86dacff1:4b646c0c:73e9f59e

calling “mdadm --detail --scan” still gives the same names:

  …
  ARRAY /dev/md/2 metadata=1.00 name='hermione':2 UUID=edc699ab:86dacff1:4b646c0c:73e9f59e
  …
