Hi,
I'm trying to install Guix SD on a Gigabyte GA-41M-ES2L running
libreboot. Grub recognizes the usb stick and shows the menu entry "GNU
with Linux-Libre 4.5 (beta)". Linux seems to boot, but the computer
resets pretty soon. Even using a serial cable I can't see any error message.
The last line displayed is "[ 0.208002] .... node #0, CPUs:
#1". The full serial log (including libreboot) can be downloaded here:
https://libreboot.niclashoyer.de/guixsd/usb-boot.log
The linux boot starts around line 1276.
Trisquel GNU/Linux using kernel 3.13.0 and Parabola GNU/Linux using
kernel 4.6.4 boot without problems.
I also tried to boot the Guix SD installer using the Parabola kernel.
That kind of "worked", as I was dropped into a guile prompt with a
backtrace, but no reboot occurred.
Any help is appreciated.

It sounds like you're using the Guix 0.10.0 installer, based on the
kernel version. Can you try using the installer from our most recent
release, 0.11.0?

I just checked with 0.11.0. Now it uses linux 4.7, but the problem
(early reboot/reset) is the same.

The boot log stops at:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[ 0.205140] x86: Booting SMP configuration:
[ 0.208002] .... node #0, CPUs: #1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So it looks like the kernel doesn’t even boot, unless the log is
truncated.
Did you try running Linux-libre 4.5 or newer before on this hardware?
Several people have reported running GuixSD on Libreboot-powered
machines, but presumably this was different hardware.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Yes, booting the Parabola GNU/Linux from usb is working. They use
linux-libre 4.6.4.
Is there any way I could test this? I could compile Guix SD from source
und fiddle with the kernel build options until I'm able to boot.

I don't think that guixsd uses apparmor, are you using the guixsd
kernel or the parabola one?
Do you also have a display connected to your machine? mingetty doesn't
support a serial login session.

I'm now using the latest 0.11.0 usb image unmodified with a screen
attached. The reset occurs so fast that I can't really recognize the
kernel messages. I added "console=ttyS0,115200n8" to the kernel boot
options to get serial output the last time using the 0.10.0 usb image.
As far as I can tell the kernel/CPU resets before reaching the login
session.

GuixSD doesn’t use it but it’s apparently built into its kernel; on my
laptop, I see:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[ 0.000140] ACPI: Core revision 20160422
