I am trying to install gentoo on a small VIA EPIA-M Mini-ITX board. Because of the processor architecture I can't use i586 or later, but have to use x86. I installed "install-x86-minimal-20141209.iso" onto an USB stick, booted from there, and downloaded "stage3-i486-20140415.tar.bz2". Note that the network was working perfectly there, with dhcp, default routes, dns etc, even IPv6 (address). I unpacked the stage3 tree into another mounted drive, then did all the rbind mounts (/sys, /dev, /proc, even /etc/resolve.conf), made them rslave mounts as well. When I then chroot into the new environment, networking suddenly ceased to work there. It works fine outside the chroot, but not within. With "not working" I mean: even a "ping -v -I 192.168.0.130 192.168.0.1" gives a "Destination host unreachable" - where 192.168.0.1 even is the default route! It should not be DNS-related (and thus not resolve-related, as /etc/resolve.conf was copied over, even within the chroot, ifconfig and route show a perfectly well configured network. It ... just doesn't work. Unfortunately I only find pages on the web where someone forgot to copy resolve.conf, but that is NOT the case here.
Additional note: the VIA EPIA-M board I'm trying to install it on has two network interfaces on the board, named enp0s15 and enp0s18. I down'd the one I did not need, but did not help either. I also deleted the IPv6 addresses, but it did not help either.
Ok, time for a brown paper bag. Looks like I copied it over as "resolve.conf" instead of "resolv.con". At least re-doing the whole installation with the 20140415 build it gets over this point now.
