I found the problem. I had enabled the gpg useflag in package.use. I re-emerged without that, and killed the running KWallet, got a password prompt from KWalletManager, and now it is working just fine. I'll see what happens at the next reboot.

I have migrated my home directory to my new machine, but I am experiencing a number of small issues. The major one is kwallet seems completely broken.

Opening the KWalletmanager, I get greeted with:
An error occurred when connecting to the KWallet service.
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes ...

I'm glad you got it working, which UUIDs in particular are swapped? are you still using LVM raid or are you trying BTRFS raid?

cryptsetup.ROOT0 and cryptsetup.ROOT1 kept swapping UUIDs. It's a system thing, and I have no idea why it happens. But it doesn't really matter, as it's a RAID1 mirror ...

I've been quiet for a while, as it turned out I had to resolve a separate problem with a kernel that wouldn't boot. In the end, I threw out my existing kernel configuration, and started from the one in sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, and started tuning from there. It's much better now.

I managed to make ...

I discovered that setting autodetect_root_dm = false will allow the build to complete. so I can generate am initrd in the installkernel hook. However, it's not succeeding.

did you try letting ugrd detect it all? (i mean more or less use the default config and add your LUKS volumes if they require keys, etc.) The autodetection should pick up most filesystem layouts and will work with LUKS as long as you don't use key files or have detached headers. If no key file is ...

For a number of years, I have used genkernel to install kernels and create the appropriate initrd.

Any suggestions?

I have the Lock/Logout widget on a panel on my laptop screen. If I click the "Sleep" button on the widget, the laptop does a "Suspend to RAM". So far so good.

Whenever kscreenlocker becomes active, the screen is locked, but the background plugins don't work - I just get a plain black background.

It does actually seem to have been a backlight problem. Super annoying, as this glitch has cost me so much productivity.

You were correct. Armed with the hypothesis that /run was being remounted, I went digging through the many places in startup where things get mounted.

Sure enough localmount mounts everything in /etc/fstab that isn't marked "noauto", and that included a line mounting /run with noatime.

I am having a weird problem with booting the system.

I use genkernel to generate the initramfs for my system.

The kernel command line contains the parameter real_init=/sbin/openrc-init

What happens is I can see the system enter the Sysinit runlevel, and run the following services:
