Re: repair broken boot record

[Thomas Danckaert <post@thomasdanckaert.be>]

Hi Florian,

I think I still owed a final response in this thread, especially 
after all your effort to help out.

In the end, I reinstallled Guix from scratch (luckily, I had a full 
backup of my /home, and Guix makes it easy to restore your system 
exactly as it was...), and switched to '(bootloader 
grub-bootloader)'.  That did the trick.  I couldn't get the chroot 
approach to work properly (maybe with more time, ...).

Looking back at the history of my system config, I used to have

(bootloader (grub-configuration (target "/dev/sda")))

for a long time.   I don't actually remember how I ever ended up with 
grub-efi-bootloader (little Guix time lately, I mostly just update 
and check my e-mail these days), maybe I just copied from the manual 
without thinking/ reading properly...

Thanks for your help, I still learned a few things, even though I 
couldn't get it to work properly...

Thomas
