Error in config.scm

Error in config.scm

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.

You have to provide a list of mapped-devices, like this:

(mapped-devices (list (mapped-device
                        (source ...))))

The example in the manual is a too subtle, in my opinion.

Also, I've never tried having two file-system sections, but I bet that
is causing a problem as well.

Thanks, you're right. Good catches—I made both typos while manually
copying from here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-04/msg00964.html.
guix system init is pulling sources, now.

  (operating-system (file-systems foo) (file-systems bar))

is equivalent to:

  (operating-system (file-systems bar))

Ideally it should raise an error.
