Ouch. Could you confirm it was with the 1.3.0 installer?
It would seem that the bug comes from ‘read-partition-uuid’ returning #f
in this function:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (user-partition->file-system user-partition)
"Convert the given USER-PARTITION record in a FILE-SYSTEM record from
(gnu system file-systems) module and return it."
(let* ((mount-point (user-partition-mount-point user-partition))
(fs-type (user-partition-fs-type user-partition))
(crypt-label (user-partition-crypt-label user-partition))
(mount-type (user-fs-type->mount-type fs-type))
(file-name (user-partition-file-name user-partition))
(upper-file-name (user-partition-upper-file-name user-partition))
;; Only compute uuid if partition is not encrypted.
(uuid (or crypt-label
(uuid->string (read-partition-uuid file-name) fs-type))))
`(file-system
(mount-point ,mount-point)
(device ,@(if crypt-label
`(,upper-file-name)
`((uuid ,uuid (quote ,fs-type)))))
(type ,mount-type)
,@(if crypt-label
'((dependencies mapped-devices))
'()))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This can happen if a partition you chose to create actually contains
random data or a file system not supported by (gnu build file-systems);
this, in turn, can happen if you chose not to format partitions during
the installation process.
Could it be what happened in your case?
