Does "shorewall check" give any hints?

I already had it set to yes from the previous invocation using the old
shorewall, but it gave me this strange result where it would not
really start.

Did you change "STARTUP_ENABLED=no" to "STARTUP_ENABLED=yes" in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf?
Been years since I've used Gentoo. shorewall.conf might be in a
different location or that option might be seperated into
/etc/conf.d/shorewall or something like that.
Gentoo had very helpful forum when I was using it. If you need Gentoo
specific help, I'd try there first.

Did you try 'shorewall restart' ? On gentoo, I think the commands
you want are:
Start now: rc-service shorewall start (this runs shorewall start,
which loads the ruleset)
Enable at boot: rc-update add shorewall default
ipv6: rc-service shorewall6 start and rc-update add shorewall6 default
Run 'shorewall restart' and paste the output (if you have the most
recent version the verbosity is fixed), then we can take a closer
look.
Thanks for trying it out.

OK, so I unmerged the old shorewall and emerged the new one
and it passed the check, but when I said shorewall status, it
said ruleset was not loaded. I tried this under the kernel
6.6.119 and then I tried it under 6.18.49 but same result.
