Can you describe your setup and the boot order in more details?
I guess there is some fundamental misunderstanding somewhere.

Where does your kernel live and how is it loaded? What partition(s)
have the bootme flag? I would never expect it to make any sense in the
inner GPT of a raid set, but only the (outer) GPTs of the components
(so firmware finds the bootloader).
