I want to install a system on an external SSD so that I can boot my PC in = case my default boot disk would have problems (I have my data on other dis= ks in this PC) and I decided to try with Guix SD. With the guided installation in graphic mode, when I get to the point wher= e I say to install Guix on a whole disk and I have selected it, the instal= ler goes back to the first step, asking whether I want to install Guix SD = with the graphic installer or shell commands, so the graphic install seems= not to work. Then I decided to try the installation with shell commands. My desktop is a D8 with a blobless coreboot + seabios. On my external SSD connected via USB and recognized as /dev/sdf (I have 6 = internal disks, /dev/sda is the boot disk, then I have /dev/sdb to /dev/sd= e and /dev/sdg, not sure why the external SSD got put in the middle): I created the following partitions and fs (DOS partition table): /dev/sdf1: 1G formatted as ext4, for /boot, marked as bootable /dev/sdf2: extended partition /dev/sdf5: 922G formatted as btrfs, for / /dev/sdf6: 8G, for swap I have put labels on /dev/sdf1 and /dev/sdf5, I mounted /dev/sdf5 at /mnt,= created /mnt/boot and mounted /dev/sdf1 at /mnt/boot, did swapon for /dev= /sdf6. Then I launched herd, copied config.scm, edited it, and launched gu= ix system init, using the commands advised in the manual. After a while (lots of things were worked on), I have: ---quote start--- guix system: error: '/gnu/store/xxx-grub-2.04/sbin/grub-install --no-flopp= y target=3Di386-pc --bot-directory /mnt/boot /dev/sdf1' exited with status= 1; output follows: Installing of i386-pc platform. /gnu/store/xxx-grub-2.04/sbin/grub-install: warning: File system 'ext2' do= esn't support embedding. /gnu/store/xxx-grub-2.04/sbin/grub-install: warning: Embedding is not poss= ible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. Howeve= r, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged... /gnu/store/xxx-grub-2.04/sbin/grub-install: error: will not proceed with b= locklists. --- quote end --- And then I get a shell prompt again. My config.scm is: (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss)) (use-service-modules desktop xorg) (use-package-modules certs gnome) (operating-system (host-name "albert") (timezone "Europe/Paris") (locale "fr_FR.utf8") (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "fr")) (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sdf1") (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))) (file-systems (append (list (file-system (device (file-system-label "guix-root")) (mount-point "/") (type "btrfs")) (file-system (device (file-system-label "guix-boot")) (mount-point "/boot") (type "ext4"))) %base-file-systems)) (users (cons (user-account (name "david") (comment "David") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video"))) %base-user-accounts)) (packages (append (list nss-certs gvfs) %base-packages)) (services (append (list (service mate-desktop-service-type) (set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))) %desktop-services)) (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)) = I manually copied the file so there could be typos. Did I do something wrong in the partition/filesystem choices, in the insta= llation procedure or in the config.scm? Thanks, David. -----------------------8b6032f6b0642849954e7ea4656b31c9-- --------c7414057fae519434574b30a2b48e98ba39f7ecce04d8abec89d64f852c205b1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsFzBAEBCAAGBQJinfdyACEJEOzv2jrhKLt5FiEE0mfgOyp9D+UIsUN07O/a OuEou3mE0BAAnuvyhl8hxXQdON4jJYGI0F9Mw2fEbKuOXO9rXh7lAkClWUHF KX4HQcZk50jxemMJ4ceEGvm8MbvGSmkcP6LEm7Y5r9A26Z8swrxyJZ4RlEJU LmEwRkkXFEoxXE6ND8UOUqUQcARB4jF4aP3h+9omkb6ySaUDSj+wIY5TrLAR sCzwk178k/cnEzYc+57NYkneWeyKyaATqy4ae4ag7UbMaF6Q8IUJWpOWGOPG wQcymbXAMR6J3zlUMkhLdImK/CedoJjf40PzjCDOBhb6oaNP8fEW8En+Pyr1 dsx+P1fFmJ0NNumHdfhEcMfOpX+4tzFKRow69Ioxo7yV7OVeXsYkXGNhe5kh FphfOCxqo67p4W0rNeajfOI0qrKPeK5C0Qr6EKdGUNfyt4N4H0yXmDcZVGQ+ 28/fPd5x1kKfgsPzhUVGMLHJjDBt4Wm+ieFfCZk7agseKtfyDgBnldoKucjT o7nKT8WLOFJz31YstZqEBqdpp8vkJ5YiRxG7j0uaOHmN+8UJZ3sHKiSS8ZBT cPRC4tUa4ldnHTiMm9vL1dffK5e6SL/JZSpj+K/HVcJ80g46V9NbIfKDEOKK yTB+1JIaPGFfAeoSbDBTi9YdKg3G8ufBQqQDLjNVeRYQDcE/ZA+o4aKCPQ0Q bwwUnfPceUhL3AH4fkNHP4KjO9N+uXTgG1s= =Vd37 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------c7414057fae519434574b30a2b48e98ba39f7ecce04d8abec89d64f852c205b1--
