For me the Guix System installer crashes reproducibly after manual partitioning, even when not formatting the partition. The ESP and root partition have not been deleted (no matter if I tell the installer to format them or not). This applies to EFI installation on my 2010 Macbook but not in QEMU. Perhaps the reason is the partition I=E2=80=99m trying to format previously was LUKS-encrypted. I switch to a console and type /gnu/store/*kmscon*/bin/kmscon --debug --login /gnu/store/*installer 2>ou= t The suspicious part of the output is at time 60: [0015.940745] DEBUG: uterm_uxkb: new keyboard description (pc105, us, alt= gr-intl, ) (uxkb_desc_init() in src/uterm_input_uxkb.c:160) [0060.006214] DEBUG: pty: cannot read from pty of child 364 (5): Input/ou= tput error (read_buf() in src/pty.c:478) [0060.006281] DEBUG: pty: HUP on pty of child 364 (pty_input() in src/pty= .c:520) [0060.006612] DEBUG: eloop: child 364 exited successfully (sig_child() in= src/eloop.c:353) [0060.006627] INFO: pty: child exited: pid: 364 status: 0 (sig_child() in= src/pty.c:536) [0060.007224] DEBUG: pty: forking child 414 (pty_spawn() in src/pty.c:422= ) [0091.233270] DEBUG: vt: deactivating VT 7 to 4 due to user input (real_i= nput() in src/uterm_vt.c:578) [0091.233319] DEBUG: vt: leaving VT 7 0x10c68c0 due to VT signal (real_si= g_leave() in src/uterm_vt.c:231) [0091.233337] DEBUG: seat: deactivate session 0x1153ae0 (session_call_dea= ctivate() in src/kmscon_seat.c:125) [0091.233351] DEBUG: video: go asleep (uterm_video_sleep() in src/uterm_v= ideo.c:663) [0091.233376] DEBUG: uterm_input: going to sleep (uterm_input_sleep() in = src/uterm_input.c:441) I tested an installer manually created from the version-1.1.0 branch with Tobias=E2=80=99 compression patch applied . I believe it makes no difference. I would really like that compression. In QEMU I can even install with a toggle layout even though the guix package appears not to have been updated to include your fix. Strange. On an Acer Aspire 5738PG with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 the installer remains black. I pressed ctrl-alt-f3 and typed modprobe uvesafb v86d=3D$(guix build v86d | head -n1)/sbin/v86d mode_opti= on=3D1024x768 but it says =E2=80=9Cguix build: error: v86d: unknown package=E2=80=9D, p= robably because the guix package has not been updated recently.
