Ok, makes sense. > Why did you write “expected grub error”? A GRUB error is never > something one should expect. :-) I have currently set up /dev/sda3 as grub target, which is an ext4 partition. Since grub doesn't support embedding in ext, it fails. One has to manually 'grub-install --force /dev/sda3'. Good thing that you explained this. This is important for the other issue in thread 'Dualbooting with guixsd not handling grub installation'. -- GPG: 7FDE 7190 2F73 2C50 236E 403D CC13 48F1 E644 08EC
