Thanks for the reply. I updated the bios on the sk8v with the beta version
that was posted on the asus website.
bad news got a cmos error. Went through all the proper steps, called tech
at asus and I fried the bios chip they
are sending me a new one, so next week I'll try this again. But this was a
fresh install, fresh fdisk and I did the first emerge sync and this happened.

Hello,
please have a look on your FETCHCOMMAND / RESUMECOMMAND in /etc/make.conf.
(emerge --info -v | grep COMMAND)
FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 --passive-ftp -P ${DISTDIR} ${URI}"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 --passive-ftp -P ${DISTDIR} ${URI}"
You should be really sure, thaht you have removed any old files from
your /distfiles dir. I had also strange problems with a wrong RESUMECOMMAND
and partilly download files.
To get an idea what is wrong, try to download a small packages.
Please make an emerge -f app-admin/perl-cleaner.
After that compare the
digest /usr/portage/app-admin/perl-cleaner/files/digest-perl-cleaner-1.01
with thhe downloaded file.
cd /usr/portage/distfiles
md5sum perl-cleaner-1.01.tar.gz
a657d9e9264cd9f550bd2c55c1220785 perl-cleaner-1.01.tar.gz
ls -l perl-cleaner-1.01.tar.gz
I hope this will clarify, if you have problem with downloading the file or
with gzip/md5sum.
Best regards Joerg
