I got this error when trying to initialize the guix system:
/mnt/etc/config.scm:8:0: error: source expression failed to match any
pattern

My config.scm is available at http://kete.ninth.su/config.scm.txt.
What I tried was changing the sda1 to sda since the template says sdX
and not something like sdXY. It didn't make a difference.

I made sure I used the label /my-root/ by looking at the history of
commands. I made the ext4 filesystems on both partitions (one after
luksOpen).

The comment is blank/nil. This config worked before with minor changes.
It failed when guix tried to install Grub on the entire encrypted root
because as some know, that is not supported yet.

I am on freenode, too.
