I just installed two servers with the installer image built from commit
2f49007dd076b14feb40d7c3331dee3e737265c8. Both of these servers boot
just fine, but “guix pull” does not work.
It fails with the following error:
guix pull: error: glibc-bootstrap-system-2.2.5.patch: patch not found

The commit you picked should create an installer with a Guix package
that contains the appropriate fix:
179e6c524ae4957e6ace83f72a5651767f786ca4.
Could you run a "guix describe" just to be sure?
Thanks,
Mathieu

“guix describe” tells me that my Guix was not created with “guix
pull” but says:
Its version string is 1.1.0-3.52b01cb.

The problem here is that when you create an installer, the Guix inside
the image is the one defined in gnu/packages/package-management.scm
(currently 1.1.0-4.bdc801e). Which works fine.
But when you install a system using that Guix, it will install an
_older_ Guix snapshot, from its embedded
gnu/packages/package-management.scm, which is the broken
1.1.0-3.52b01cb.
Probably we should make a new Guix snapshot to work around it. It's a
fairly safe and easy operation, just run 'make update-guix-package' on a
commit that is available on Savannah. Can you try it? :-)

Oh you are right, I didn't realize that.

I am getting the same issue with an .iso made with 1.1.0-4.bdc801e.

When I boot to my usb key, gnu grub comes up with gnu guix installation 1.1.0-4.bdc801e. I'm assuming it's trying to install that version?
