booting the system with an initramfs generated by dracut then:
After boot a cursor appears on the lesft upper corner of a blank screen.
Can ssh to system
when gdm is restarted, logon screen appears. Logon is possible and for the rest the system behaves normal.

booting the same system with the the same kernel and an initramfs generated by genkernel then
system behaves normal.

kernel: vmlinuz-6.11.6-gentoo-x86_64

uncommented
Code:
#options nvidia-drm fbdev=1
in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf
Now gdm works with both initramfs's.
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-550.144.03
