Can´t "Emerge Sync" without Errors :(

[R-Kite]

Hi,

i´m currently trying to install Gentoo with the install guide. I´m at the "Emerge Sync" Point BUT i just can´t update it.

First:
I´m using a router, do i have to open some ports?
The Router uses DHCP. I can ping www.yahoo.com, i can use "links" to browse websites.

He connects to several Mirrors and tries to download the portage updates.
He starts downloading the files, i think, and then it retries 3 times then writes this message -->

73022 Files to consider
dev-libs/openssl/
dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0,9,7b.ebuild
write failed on dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0,9,7b.ebuild : No Space left on device
rsync error: error in file 10 (code 11) at receiver.c (243)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1620525 bytes read so far)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165)

Then it says its not complete Recommends trying and something like emerge-websync, i´ve done that, no effect.

I started with stage2. My System is AthlonXP 1700+ with Intel-chipped Networkcard correctly listed as eth0

One of my Harddisks:
HDA1 Boot 100M ext2
HDA2 Swap 1024M
HDA3 Root 13G reiserfs

Please help

I´m a bloody noob but i followed the installation instructions exactly. It seems just the tmpfs is used ??

Oh yes i used alt+F3 for root console, in alt+f1 it says it cannot read the table of mounted filesystem, whats that supposed to mean

[R-Kite]

Ok, i've mounted the devices AGAIN, i think i restarted once..
But no change. They're listed in mount and df now with 1% use but still emerge sync says i have no diskspace at around 70xxx files.
But now its app-admin/ and app-admin/timestamp.x O_o

-> Can you tell me why the alt-F1 Console cannot find several commands and the alt-F2 F3 F4 console does. I think its something with root user but i didn't use a Linux System for years now Please help, sorry for the noobiest Question ever

From those outputs, it almost looks as though you haven't chrooted properly, as your root partition seems to be on tmpfs. The only suggestion I can give is to make sure you're chrooted properly, and try it again.

[deepthought]

You missed the step to mount your freshly formatted root partition to /mnt/gentoo. Just start over from there, and everything will be fine.

Alexander

I'm having almost the identical problem except I get the out of disk space message around the kde-bounce without fail each time.

I have properly chroot'd with /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash and I just don't get it. I'm following the quick install guide verbatim and I can't figure this one out.

Ok, I'll give that a shot. For reference I'm using a second hard drive with 1 ext3 partition and one swap partition, so I'll be trying hdb1. Thanks for the warm welcome.

I had the running out of diskspace problem a few times and it was were i was not chrooted and did not mount partitions correctly. If this is any help to any 1
