[gentoo-dev] Install problems

[Wesley Moxam - CSCI/P2000 <wmoxam@scs.ryerson.ca>]

Hello

I attempted to install gentoo on my system last night and I hit a snag. I
used the minimal build ISO, and everything went well right up until I ran
the command 'emerge rsync' after chrooting over to the build installation.

The problem is that emerge at first seemed to hang, then I got the
message: eth0: Too much work (or something to that effect). After a
while emerge finally quit with the message 'cvs.gentoo.org not found'. So,
I rebooted and went through the install process again, but this time after
I had set up the networking I tried pinging a few machines, which worked,
but when I pinged cvs.gentoo.org I got the IP address of my
firewall/gateway (192.168.1.1).

Could anyone give me a clue to what I'm doing wrong? To my knowledge I
have followed the exact installation instructions, and there shouldn't be
any problems with my hardware setup since it works fine with Slackware and
kernel 2.4.2. The ethernet card uses the epic100 module. 

Any help at all would be appriciated.
