You messages have completely different urls. Yours in connecting to 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org Mine is connecting to several differnt versions of kernel.org ,---- | Resolving www.fr.kernel.org... failed: Name or service not known. | wget: unable to resolve host address “www.fr.kernel.org” | >>> Downloading 'http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.1.tar.bz2' | --2011-11-27 04:24:43-- http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.1.tar.bz2 | Resolving www.us.kernel.org... failed: Name or service not known. | wget: unable to resolve host address “www.us.kernel.org” | !!!

I cannot ping any of the urls in that message yet `kernel.org' is definitely up. > The portage tree itself (should be) in the chroot directory.

I had no problem getting portage, the tar ball, but it never appears to be accessible in chroot. You mean chroot = vabuild/usr/portage by default right? At any rate, I guess you are not maintaining things at the repo eh?
