Today when I run several rounds of build, the `kernel module not found "shpchp"` error pops out here and there (it isn't there yesterday ..) I used initrd-modules and "shpchp", because back when I first installed the system, the example configure file had them. I don't think I really need the modules. So I tried removing it, but system seems to prevent me from doing that, by throwing the error: : error: you may need these modules in the initrd for /dev/sda2: shpchp It seems weired to me, in two ways: 1. why the system is preventing me from removing "shpchp" module? How does it relate to /dev/sda2 (which is my root partition in ext4)? 2. I downloaded the latest QEMU image [1], run as root the `guix pull` and `guix system reconfigure` with the exact config.scm (with modified boot loader configure of course), and there isn't any issue. I believe that build should also use the latest kernel, which should also have missed the module "shpchp". Next, I would probably try to reinstall the system, without the `initrd-modules` configuration. [1] https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-vm-image-0.15.0.x86_64-linux.xz -- Hebi
