I now have a single partition on my laptop.  So… 100%?  :-)

What would that do?

‘guix system’ does hardware detection to report about kernel modules
that one may need to add to their initrd.

It would be nice if the installer, when it generates the OS config,
would use that same code to determine what to put in the
‘initrd-modules’ field.

WDYT, Mathieu?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
