Seems to be a recurrent issue - not being able to download the well-known keys.
gpg --search-keys torvalds@kernel.org
and gpg --search-keys gregkh@linuxfoundation.org
usually allow to manually find and import these keys.
The problems you have are due to miscommunication with the keyserver - either a network issue, or a temporary disconnection of the server or the key server itself that will strip the user id (see this forum article).
It would be a good idea to list several GPG servers in your gpg.conf
file.
keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org
keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net
keyserver hkps://pgp.mit.edu
keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
