Subject: bug#44872: GuixSD 1.2.0 installer fails with exception when formatting drive
Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2020 00:27:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <27a49c91-3145-b97a-95d9-80147893aa1a@eastlincoln.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87ft4wijeb.fsf@gnu.org>
I successfully installed GNU Guix.
The work around I used for this bug is I simply ran `sudo dd
if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda`. Basically, I think the existence of an old
GPT partition table is causing problems on a new install though I'm not
sure why.
Unfortunately, this computer is my daily driver and I need it working so
I can't run any more tests at this time.
