[quot]Then read the guide again. Fix your DNS.[/quote]

I know my DNSD is working correctly becuse I used links to post my first post!!... Could the problem be that the timestamp on my computer is not right because when I use "date" it gives me the wrong date and says that I need to set the timezone but when I use "date correctdate" nothing changes... Any way I'm going to start the process over again from scratch and see what I come up with...

I am having the same problem here.

I tried emerge -sync gives "temporary failure in name resolution" and I'm not behind a firewall that blocks rsync. I tried emerge-webrsync and it says no md5sum present. I then read this post, checked my date and the timezone was wrong, I changed it using zic -l EST, and then I'm still getting the same errors.

Then I tried what cyrillic said to do, but that didn't work because /etc/resolv.conf is not there.

Any ideas?

EDIT: maybe I should think harder before posting, but wtf my resolv.conf is gone. hmm.

gr8whitesavage,

you must be trying to do the copy inside the chroot. You can't do that! Use another vt, ALT+F2, and run that command. Then return to your chroot ALT+F1. It should work now.

The problem is that resolv.conf doesn't exist inside the chroot environment. If you are still in the chroot environment you can do two things:
1. Open a new console or terminal (Alt+F2,F3,etc). Log in as root, run cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc
2. Exit the chroot by typing exit, run cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc, re-enter the chroot with chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash, run env-update && source /etc/profile
