 |
|
I just lost a five year old install of gentoo so I'm reinstalling from a stage one. So far I've gotten to emerge --sync and I'm getting the following:
| Code: | Notice: (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage...
rsync: getaddrinfo: rsync.gentoo.org 873: Temporary failure in name resolution
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(104) [receiver=2.6.9]
>>> Retrying. |
Also since it's been so many years I'm not sure how bootstrapping is done these days. Any suggestions greatly appreciate. (Please don't tell me to use a stage 3). |

Temporary failure in name resolution suggests a DNS error.
Is your network working? Is your internet connection working?
i.e can you ping www.google.com |

| It's been so long ut doesn't /etc/resolv.conf proc proc /mnt/gentoo/resolf.conf take care of that? |

yes, but...
are you following the handbook? If not, I strongly recommend that you do!
Basically, you need to do the following steps (apart from the obvious mounting and chrooting)
- mount proc -t proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
- mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
- cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/
