 Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2005 9:18 pm Post subject: DNS Resolution stops working after chroot |
 |
|
Hello All,
This is my first venture with Gentoo and I'm having a bit of trouble with the install. I've worked my way up to step 6 in the handbook, but after chrooting, I lose the ability to resolve IP addresses (before chroot, name resolution works fine). I did this step, as mentioned in the handbook:
| Code: | | # cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf |
...and the /etc/resolve.conf looks fine, my network connection is fine (meaning I can ping internet addresses by numerical IP), but 'ping yahoo.com' doesn't work. In turn, I get all kinds of errors from emerge about name resolution.
Don't know what other info I can provide to help troubleshoot. I'm attempting a stage 3 install on a pentuim4 laptop, dual booting XP.
Any help would be much appreciated! |

you said resolve.conf, it should be resolv.conf

As already mentioned, I hope you do not have resolve.conf but resolv.conf.
Also, what does said file look like? Mine looks like this:
-----------cut here---------
search localhost
nameserver 192.168.1.1 #kppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.12.90 # ppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.102.90 # ppp temp entry
-----------cut here---------
Now I have a local machine running a DNS and the other two are my ISP's dns servers.

 I did indeed copy it to resolve.conf. Thanks for the extra set of eyes. |
