GRUB loads. ??
I add acpi=off to the boot options and boot. Otherwise, the screen goes black
with a '-' symbol at the top left corner and freezes.
So, after booting with acpi=off, the display shows the following lines (with timestamps on the??
left, but I had to manually transcribe so I left them off):

Apologies for the formatting errors in the previous email. Hopefully this message is cleaner.

Which kind of Macbook is this? At the top of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Macbook
I see a big fat warning that 2016 and 2017 Macbooks do not yet work
well with Linux (the kernel, I suppose). Some of these issues may
have workarounds, but it would be good to know if they apply to your
Macbook version.
Regards,
Florian

Please ignore this mail; I see you wrote Macbook1,1 in the subject
line.

Looks like it is the macbook 1,1. IIRC it has a pre-standardized EFI
implementation in 32-bit, don't remember if the laptop itself is 32- or
64- bit. Personally I would try it with Debian's special mac-installer
image first to see if that happens to boot up.
Does this laptop still have the original BIOS/EFI implementation or has
it perchance been replaced with libreboot?

Do I understand correctly that this message appears when booting the
DVD, not the installed system?

I cannot check right now if that is a legitimate partition id for the
i686 installer, but the installer source code in
gnu/system/install.scm should mount a partition with
(file-system-label "Guix_image"). You could check from another OS if
this partition label exists. You could also type in the recovery
Guile repl that opens:
(use-modules (ice-9 ftw))
(scandir "/dev/disk/by-id")
(scandir "/dev/disk/by-uuid")
(scandir "/dev/disk/by-partuuid")
and maybe:
,L bournish
cat /run/booted-system/etc/fstab

Florian

It appears that our initrd lacks the drivers needed to access the DVD
drive.
I did some looking around for any recently updated tutorials on how to
install GNU/Linux on a MacBook 1,1, and the only recent success story I
found involved installing the rEFInd boot manager and using it to boot
to a USB installer.

I would suggest something along those lines, since it would eliminate
the need to access the DVD drive from the initrd, which seems to be
where you're currently getting stuck.

I have now removed the DVD and made a live USB with the guix-system-install-1.0.1.i686-linux.iso image.
Selecting the live usb at (what I believe to be) the EFI leads to the GuixSD LiveUSB image's GRUB, replete with the GUIXSD logo.
Setting the acpi=off boot option in the GuixSD LiveUSB image's GRUB leads to the same log that is
pasted in my previous email, quoted above. When I saw the identifier for the DVD drive again in the log,
I double-checked to make sure that my previous DVD was not in the drive. Nope, it's in a vinyl CD case.
David Stumph (the author of the video) is using lubuntu 16.04 in the video. He attempted 18.10
but that resulted in a kernel panic. I also see a kernel panic without setting acpi=off
in the grub boot options. In case someone in the future is searching for this issue, the kernel panic message is
>%----------begin pasted text----------------->%
Kernel panic - not syncing: Timeout: Not all CPUs entered broadcast exception handler
Shutting down cpus with NMI
Kernel Offset : 0x8000000 from 0xc1000000 (relocation range: 0xc0000000-0xf7dfdfff)

From Trisquel 8,
$ ls /dev/disk/by-label
GUIX_IMAGE
$ls /dev/disk/by-uuid
1970-01-01-19-49-46-83
[other stuff that doesn't change when the DVD ejects]
The contents of by-id and by-partuuid don't change when the install DVD is inserted,
so I assume that the contents of those directories are not related to the DVD.

The keyboard/usb ports do not function at this point in the boot,
despite working earlier in the boot during EFI and GRUB. I
can see but not type in the recovery Guile repl.

When I press e at GRUB to edit the boot configuration
I have noticed that the identifier
31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833
is the default value of the --root option on the LiveUSB. I will look into
other possible values for this --root option.

Ubuntu 16.04 uses linux-4.4. We have linux-libre-4.4 (LTS) in Guix, but
our 1.0.1 installer images are based on linux-libre-5.1.
It might be worth using another machine to build a Guix installer image
that uses linux-libre-4.4, and trying that. Here's how: Section 3.9
(Building the Installation Image) describes how to build an installer
image, but instead of passing "gnu/system/install.scm", pass the name of
a modified version of that file, with (kernel linux-libre-4.4) added as
an additional field to 'installation-os'.

I should mention that you'll also need to add "--system=i686-linux" as
an option to "guix system disk-image", if the build system is 64-bit.

Is it important that it's another machine, and not this machine (Macbook1,1)?
This machine has Trisquel 8 currently running and functional.
I am confident that I can reinstall the Guix package manager on it
to build the suggested custom installation image.

Sure, that should be fine. Note that you'll also need to ensure that
the final system you install uses linux-libre-4.4, by adding (kernel
linux-libre-4.4) to your OS configuration. I'm not sure off-hand how to
do this when using the guided graphical installer, but maybe someone
else here knows. I've only ever done manual installations.

I have found this incantation, and variants, e.g. filtering with grep, useful also:
$ stat -c %N /dev/disk/by-*/*
I have also encountered, IIRC, system versions where /disk/dev/by-* could present info
from stale cache information, so it might not show what e.g. the following might:
$ lsblk
$ lsblk -f
For your purposes, it might be worth trying asking for interesting
specifics (see lsblk -h for more), e.g.
$ lsblk -o mountpoint,name,size,fstype,label,partlabel,partuuid,uuid
Maybe that partuuid '31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833' might show up?
BTW, I think some older systems might not know how to look for partuuid,
(especially beyond the intial boot device?) and it could be worth trying
plain uuid instead. I suspected such a stiutation when I got
a not-found in the past, but did not diagnose it unambigously.
--8<--aside
BTW2, I am using refind to multiboot, and consider my shooting myself in the foot
(clobbering my efi partition with unintended grub install) as a kind of usability-bug,
which I am tempted to use as rationale for posting to this list (but not hijacking
this post further ;-) Would that be ok, or should I join guix-help as well? I am getting
more email traffic than I am used to :) ...
(I would like to mount a losetup file partition as a target for grub bootloader install,
and thereby capture initrds etc for manual (at first ;-) transfer into my refind efi vfat
file tree.)

I just checked for my working USB image and the
boot/grub/grub.cfg contains that line
bzImage --root=31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833 --system=/gnu/store/2j79kbvsxqq7lmzp3isnran1dpcp2z5j-system --load=/gnu/store/2j79kbvsxqq7lmzp3isnran1dpcp2z5j-system/boot quiet
but I cannot find that partition either. It seems to be created by
grub-mkrescue from make-iso9660-image, but I am not sure.
@Calvin: The manual contains this line in section _Building the
Installation Image_ (with Mark’s --system=i686-linux added):
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 --system=i686-linux \
gnu/system/install.scm
If you omit --file-system-type=iso9660, a USB image will still work
and I believe no --root=31393730-3031-3031-3139-343934363833 will be
inserted in GRUB.

Florian

could you try booting https://drive.google.com/open?id=15YTPS2jt1l3VMyE4LTbMCoy7DnEu7etv from DVD and later from USB Flash drive?

I appreciate your effort to make life easier for Calvin, but in general
it seems like a bad security practice to post large unsigned disk images
and asking users to try them. A digital signature from you would
improve matters somewhat, but ideally there should also be a description
of how to reproduce this image.
It's also not good to be promoting Google Drive here, which requires
non-free Javascript. I'm aware that IceCat includes an extension to
allow Google Drive to at least partially work with LibreJS, but I was
unable to easily get it to work on my IceCat configuration where I use
NoScript instead.
Thoughts?
Mark

In general I agree. So I would suggest Calvin to try it and then later delete
the target drive.
I think it is unreasonable to expect users to build disk images of distributions
that don't work for them (it's nice if they do--but I don't like the shirking of
responsibility. It's a large time investment that has a big initial learning
curve and no guaranteed payoff).

In this case, the current Guix release image doesn't have one important fix
that directly affects Macbooks. Therefore, I built a current image of guix
master (without any extra changes--so it does contain the fix):
$ ./pre-inst-env guix system disk-image -t iso9660 -s i686-linux gnu/system/install.scm
As I said in the past, let's please release Guix again soon so the fix is going
to users.
Also, I'm curious whether it improves the situation for Calvin (reading through
the thread, it might not--the failure is too late).

In the end there's a limit to how much time I'm going to spend on this.
Google drive works and is easy enough to use--if there's an alternative that
at least takes less effort than Calvin building the image on his own, I'll
use that.

Did you gave up, or eventually got it working?

I gave up because my DVD-drive stopped reading discs and instead makes gentle
tapping sounds and three short low-pitched buzzes for thirty seconds before
ejecting any inserted media. Happens at both the OEM bootloader stage and after
Trisquel is fully booted. It's not a Guix problem -- it's my personal hardware
problem now.
I expect that you may wish to close the issue to tidy up, and I accept that
outcome.
Thanks,
Calvin

Ah, the joys of vintage hardware :-).

OK, thanks for the prompt reply!
I do hope you get to install Guix successfully in another adventure to
have :-).
