 Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2007 12:07 pm Post subject: Unknown Host, after chroot |
 |
|
Hi!
I am new to gentoo (for that matter linux also), at the moment I am installing gentoo (minimal instillation, from CD), and using stage 3 tarbaal.
At the start of instillation, i set up my network connection, and copied resolve.conf into /etc directory on the hard disk.
Everything was working file, but when I chroot from the CD to Hardisk during the instillation process, the emerge command is not working properly, I am trying to emerge source with.
#emerge gentoo-sources
I have also tried the following:
# USE="-doc symlink" emerge gentoo-sources
I am using router to connect to internet, the address of my router is 192.168.0.1, and I am able to ping it very well, and I have tried to ping other IP addresses, and they are also getting pinnged properly (0% packet loss).
But when I type the address, like www.google.com, the message comes up saying that unknown host www.google.com.
I think due to this reason emerge command is not working, the output of my
#emerge gentoo-sources is:

Any sort of help will be greatly appreciated.

Did you just copy it to /etc or did you copy it to /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf (without the e) |

i had this problem also, it was due to me not copying over the resolv.conf file
so all i did was go back using
| Code: | exit
cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |
so make sure youve done that, and even double check if you can 
[EDIT] sorry didnt see the above post, was busy crawling through the documentation to make sure the command i was dishing out was entirely correct. please place
at the start of the topic title.
thanks.

There should be no "e" |
