 |
|
This is a first time install for me and I am trying to do an emerge system and i am recieving errors when trying to connect to the hosts, the errors are, Host not found, and No route to host.
I am behind an belkin router, but I checked the resolv.conf and it seemed to copy over correctly. My network connection works fine until chroot, then i lose the ability to ping and such.
During bootstrap i used the default USE tags and for mirrors i have the fastest mirrors list in the make file. Everything seemed to install fine until now. |

Did you miss this step during installation? If it works fine before you chroot, you might want to double check this:

One thing still remains to be done before we enter the new environment and that is copying over the DNS information in /etc/resolv.conf. You need to do this to ensure that networking still works even after entering the new environment. /etc/resolv.conf contains the nameservers for your network.
Code Listing 2: Copy over DNS information
(The "-L" option is needed to make sure we don't copy a symbolic link)
# cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf

| no, i did that, and even went and looked at it and it checked out. If there was a problem with that, wouldn't the bootstrap have failed too? |

| That step is after bootstrapping... And sorry, I missed where you said you double checked your resolv.conf, my bad... Well, if /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf exists, and isn't a symlink, I'm really not sure, it must be a configuration issue if it's working before you chroot. You may not be able to ping (command not found?) while in chroot - I can't recall, but that wouldn't explain your dns failures. |

Check if these lines are similar in your /etc/nsswitch.conf, that dns in particular is important.
| Code: | hosts: files dns
networks: files dns |

| I will take a look at that. What I did though right now as an attempt, is take out the optimized mirrors in the make.conf, and re-bootstrap the machine, that all went ok, and i started the emerge system, but i had to run to class like 10 secs later so when i get back i will know if that worked, thanks for your help i will look at that too. |

| I didn't get a chance to try that but doing what I did worked. By removing the optimized mirrors it worked. Thanks for you help everyone. |
