Subject: Problems running Guix System initrd on an i.MX6 ARM board
Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2022 22:40:50 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmco3r99.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Guix!
I've been trying for some time to run Guix System on an ARM board (a
TS-7970 with an i.MX6 Cortex A9 CPU). I wanted to cross-compile the
image for speed and efficiency, and stumbled upon some problems on the
way, such as https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44924, fixed on core-updates.
Then it took me some time to figure out that Guile 3.0.7 was segfaulting
when running the initrd's init script, which would cause the following
kernel panic and backtrace:

I found that guile would segfault and return an exit code of 139
(perhaps ETXTBSY, per guile sources), by adding bash-static to the
initrd and invoking guile from there during the early boot.
Luckily, Guile 3.0.8 doesn't have this problem, so the following fixed
it:

The .go modules appear to be correctly cross-compiled for
arm-linux-gnueabihf (they run fine on the same target using a different
OS that I can boot with).
Ideas?
