Did you remember to copy your /etc/resolv.conf file before chrooting? Yes, as I say, it carrys out 'emerge sync' fine, as long as I keep pressing keys. Leave it without pressing any keys, and it times out with a DNS error of some sort. Any workarounds would be appreciated ;) can you verify that each dns server in /etc/resolv.conf is reachable and functioning correctly? Perhaps trying only 1 server at a time would help. Also, can you resolve rsync.gentoo.org? if you are still having problems please provide more details, such as the stage and version you are using, where you got them and anything else you can come up with. Thanks additionally, rather than rsyncing the first time you could try grabbing the latest portage snapshot off ibiblio and then rsyncing just the difference (it'll decrease the size of your rsync dramatically) All servers in resolv.conf are reachable, and I am able to browse the web using Lynx. I can also ping rsync.gentoo.org, even after copying 'ping' into the chroot environment and running it there. Once again, it can connect to the Internet fine, and download packages for emerge sync, but I need to continually press keys for the downloading to advance As for the stage, I'm doing it from stage 1. I've managed to get all the packages for rsync merge, after mindnumbing keypressing for about half an hour, but now bootstrap.sh needs me to contrinually press return, but only in the parts where rsync is used. I'm using gentoo-grp-athlon-xp-1.4_rc2.iso. I think I found the problem... the UK keymap is faulty, and is not causing rsync to update itself. When using the default keymap, it worked fine. Nope, it wasn't the UK keymap, it was the gentoo acpi=off noapic line I passed that fixed it :D Ok. Declared invalid. |
