I try to run guix system reconfigure and get this error:
guix system: error: #<<uuid> type: dce bv: #vu8(51 12 55 214 249 221 79
112 186 51 233 64 103 99 34 57)>: invalid G-expression input
Here's the minimum of what I feed it to replicate the error (comments
and non-essentials removed):
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss))
(use-service-modules desktop pm virtualization networking cups sound)
(use-package-modules certs gnome guile-xyz)
(define pureos-root "330c37d6-f9dd-4f70-ba33-e94067632239")
(define swap-uuid "049a0350-bcce-4920-9816-5fd4ee3c0de1")
(define (other-partition entry-label vmlinuz-version root-uuid resume-
uuid)
(menu-entry
(label "pureos")
(linux (string-concatenate `("/boot/vmlinuz-" ,vmlinuz-version)))
(linux-arguments
`(,(string-concatenate `("root=UUID=" ,root-uuid))
"ro" "quiet" "splash"
,(string-concatenate `("resume=UUID=" ,resume-uuid))))
(initrd (string-concatenate `("/boot/initrd.img-" ,vmlinuz-
version)))
(device (uuid root-uuid))))
(operating-system
(host-name "piranhaplant")
(timezone "America/Boise")
(locale "en_US.utf8")
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sda") ;include my usual OS
(menu-entries
(list
(other-partition
"pureos"
"4.19.0-2-amd64"
pureos-root
swap-uuid)))))
(file-systems (cons (file-system
(device (file-system-label "my-root"))
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
%base-file-systems))
)
====================
Please forgive the ugly formatting and quasiquote/unquote abuse. I was
beginning to understand scheme when I wrote the .
It breaks when I add (file-system ...) which is identical to what's in
the manual. I think it might have something to do with the bootloader,
but I don't know what. Where is a G-expression expected?

The menu entry with the other partition is the problem. I'm not sure
what to do to keep the pureos partition, so I will comment it out.
Specifically, I think it's the (device) field of <menu-entry> which
took a uuid as specified in the manual.
Ludo, you wanted to know if anything is out of place when you closed
bug#36876 "guix system delete-generations removes custom boot menu
entries". I think this might be related. Is there anything that might
not be documented that needs to happen differently to add a menu item
to grub?
