Did you remember to copy over your /etc/resolv.conf to your chroot? | Code: | | # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |

I have exactly the same error, and I *know* I copied the resolve.conf file.
I've even added some extra DNS from my provider, just in case.
But my path also seems screwed up. It can't find common tools such as 'ping', 'which' and 'where'. I get the error:
"bash: ping: command not found"
I followed the web manual to the letter and am using 2004.3 and stage3. At the point where you should run 'emerge --sync', I get stuck due to this error. Something must be broken but I have no clue where or what to look (for).
Chris.

rsync reports the following error:
| Code: |
>>> checking server timestamp...
rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c (88)

It's not resolve.conf but resolv.conf
just in case....
and it should look like this:
| Code: | nameserver <ip>
nameserver <ip> |
and so on |

The devs should really, really re-write the copy command in the handbook to | Code: | | cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ |
As this would have prevented the entire problem discussed in this topic from ever occurring. If the n00b makes a typo in the resolv.conf part of the filename, the copy will abort with "file not found", rather than copying the file, but under a different file name.
@Sven Vermuelen: are you listening?  |

I am sorry but it's not the authors of the Handbook's fault!!! If you can't type, then blame it on yourself instead of the book... I always double check what I type in case something so minor will screw up the whole thing!

The point is that when the Handbook describes the copy command thus: | Code: | | cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |
The "resolv.conf" at the end of /mnt/gentoo/etc/ is totally unnecessary. Chopping these 11 characters off from the last word of that code listing would ensure that once the newbie gets the "/etc/resolv.conf" part right, the file will always be copied with the correct name to /mnt/gentoo/etc/. Every time! The worst thing that could go wrong with my suggested re-write of that code listing: | Code: | | cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/ |
is that the newbie mistypes the resolv.conf part of the filename, and leads to a "file not found". But if not, the file is guaranteed to be copied over correctly! Don't we all want a more n00b-proof Installation Handbook, to cut down on the number of support requests in this forum?! |

sure, but i doubt that the people who would benefit from it most would read it.
