The kernel did not oops, there were just the messages Booting 'Gentoo GNU/Linux' Loading Linux x86_64-4.9.76-gentoo-r1 and here it was just hanging. I normally do not like to have an initramfs but to com further I installed genkernel and let it build the kernel. The genkernel generated kernel does boot and everything, except on thing (at the moment), works - I can ssh into the box and continue configuration. The one thing that is not working is that I do not see ANY boot-messages on the console (it just says Loading Linux and Loading initial ramdisk ...), and I do not get a login-prompt and can not switch VT. But as I said, I can login with ssh and can now continue with the setup, the "Console" has to wait.
