OK, I think this is a bug. The way I worked around it was to: 1) remount /gnu/store rw 2) cd /gnu/store/n9ym4yl7s55pm57rnc5whjlzjgvxas32-linux-libre-4.16.2/lib/modules/4.16.2-gnu/kernel/drivers/usb/storage/ cp usb_storage.ko usb-storage.ko As said earlier guix doesn't allow me to specify usb-storage in the scm file and it suggests usb_storage, which it fails to find without the above hack. Prob gets it from lsmod which reports usb_storage while the file is usb-storage.ko This is obviously not right. Prob a simple fix but out of my capabilities at the mo. lol -- Divan
