Gentoo on Parallels


Recommended Posts

I'm new to the whole linux world and I decided to do a minimal gentoo install, and now I'm stuck.

I type:

# emerge --oneshot portage

and I get:

Calculating dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/portage" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/portage-2.2_rc20 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:

- sys-apps/portage-2.1.1-r2 (masked by: profile, missing keyword)
- sys-apps/portage-2.1.4.4 (masked by: )

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I tried unmasking by echoing it to packages.mask, but apparently it doesn't exist.

Help?

Alright, I have a new problem. I finished the installation successfully, yay, but now I've lost network when booting from HD. ifconfig gives me shows eth0 to be available, and dhcpcd seems to be working, but

# ping -c 3 www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com

and

# ping -c 3 216.239.51.99
PING 216.239.51.99 (216.239.51.99) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 216.239.51.99 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2014ms

I booted into the live CD to make sure the internet still worked, and it did. So I tried copying the resolv.conf from the CD to the mount, but when I reboot to the HD it still gives me the same problems.

Any ideas?

I'm sorry. I'm still a little new to this. I've been doing a little research and have found ways to display some info about the network. Maybe this could be of some help to you?

Did you copy your resolv.conf from the live-cd and did you load the kernel module (or built in kernel) for your network adapter?

Did you install a DHCP client or configured static IP?

75% chance the answer of one of these question is no, the other 25% is a little bit more complicated.

- yes

- huh? I'm not sure what you mean. I compiled the kernel that resembles the live cd's because I didn't want to configure my own kernel.

Did you install a DHCP client or configured static IP?

- DHCP

Lsmod gives me a big list of drivers but I don't know which is mine since I'm using parallels on os x and I'm sharing the network with the main OS. Would it be the same device or would it be some sort of emulated device?

Starting the ethernet gives me a warning about of already having been started.
