emerge --info

I installed gentoo-kernel-bin[initramfs -test], booted it and this happened:

Loading Linux 5.15.16-gentoo-dist ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
Starting version 249
modprobe: FATAL: Module dm_crypt not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.16-gentoo-dist
Enter passphrase for /dev/sda2: <tap-tap-tap ENTER>
[   50.920739] device-mapper: table: 253:0: crypt: unknown target type
device-mapper: reload ioctl on   failed: Invalid argument
Wrong password

The module is installed into /lib/modules/5.15.16-gentoo-dist/kernel/drivers/md/dm-crypt.ko on the root filesystem but apparently not included in the initramfs.

It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis.
We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. 

I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3].
I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4].
Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.
