I tried install gentoo 1.4 from already running debian by use stage 2. I succefuly chroot and change environment, but I can't pass "emerge sync". I result in: rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(83) "emerge-webrsync" answer: Fetching most recent snapshot but /usr/portage is still empty I have tried rsync from debian: "rsync rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" I obtain list from server contrary to same command in gentoo environment.
Did you copy /etc/resolv.conf into your changeroot ?
