Subject: Guixsd boot stop
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2022 17:48:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e939900d-199e-3b04-cb9b-7b4afafafe4f@uni-bremen.de> (raw)
Hi,
I installed guixsd 1.3.0 inside qemu with efi. (On this list: "Create
new EFI guixSD installaton from existing bios guixsd installation") That
worked (though I noticed some problems inside the install process) and
booted.
I then put the harddrive into a real machine (Asus X73B). It could not
find the boot data and started the uefi setup. I then put the guixsd
1.3. image onto a usbdrive and booted that. I followed the graphical
installer until network was set up. Then switched to console:
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
cd /mnt
mount --bind /dev dev
mount --bind /sys sys
mount --bind /proc proc
chroot /mnt /bin/sh
bash
echo nameserver 192.168.178.1 >/etc/resolv.conf # NetworkManager inside
qemu created a now invalid resolv.conf. fix that
# my user had an up to date guix, so I used that
/home/mcd/.config/guix/current/bin/guix-daemon
--build-users-group=guixbuild --substitute-urls https://ci.guix.gnu.org &
/home/mcd/.config/guix/current/bin/guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
(There should be an official, documented way to chroot into a guixsd
system!)
At the end of the installation I ran guix system build /etc/config.scm
and got 2 dmesg lines about missing firmware [1]:
0000:03:00.0: Missing Free firmware (non-Free firmware loading is disabled)
r8169 000:03:00.0: Unable to load firmware /*(DEBLOBBED)*/ (-2)
I ignored it and rebooted. No it is stuck [1] just like in
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44257>.
Even AltGr+SysRq+REISUB does not work.
I know you cannot recommend unfree software, but I'd like to use that
machine instead of throwing it away, even if I need some binary blobs.
How can I install the necessary firmware?
TIA,
Martin
