I'm having trouble installing guix in qemu, using a "fresh" guix ISO.
``` building /gnu/store/byjlc85abyjc3fjj9z982677skmda7ib-module-import-compiled.drv... building /gnu/store/psw8xn9qpsjjnrqmjrfv0v3jj9fphq5m-module-import-compiled.drv... building /gnu/store/a1zcrrcdwhb4wb2g4r0ph8mqclq7f5xn-install-bootloader.scm.drv... guix system: error: '/gnu/store/li1ic17hz460vp1sg0cx2dwgw8q7i8pj-grub-2.06/sbin/grub-install --no-floppy --target=i386-pc --boot-directory /mnt/boot /dev/sda' exited with status 1; output follows: Installing for i386-pc platform. /gnu/store/li1ic17hz460vp1sg0cx2dwgw8q7i8pj-grub-2.06/sbin/grub-install: error: unknown filesystem. ``` Here's what I've tried so far: 1. The ISO from 2022 https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso: Success 2. Generated a new ISO today: Failure These are the channels, on the booted ISO: ``` guix describe guix 65e8472 repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: 65e8472a4b6fc6f66871ba0dad518b7d4c63595e ``` Steps I used to install (1) and (2): ``` parted -s /dev/sda -- mklabel msdos mkpart primary ext4 1MiB 100% parted /dev/sda set 1 boot on mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/sda1 mount LABEL=my-root /mnt cp /etc/configuration/lightweight-desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm # adjust disk, bootloader herd start cow-store /mnt guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt ``` Findings: I didn't really dig too deeply yet; Only noticed that this command produces a different result, depending on whether the install succeeds, or not `grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda` - Success: `ext2` - Failure: `grub-probe: error: unknown filesystem.` I also tried using GPT instead of MBR, but it makes no difference.
