Installation issue on FrameWork laptop.

Installation issue on FrameWork laptop.

[Pietro Mele]

Dear Guix team,

I am trying to install GNU Guix System on a new laptop (FrameWork 16, AMD
Ryzen 7 7840HS).
I am using this file:
https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso

At the beginning, I get this warning:

Hardware support warning
Devices not supported by free software were found on your computer:
  - 1002 15bf

From that code it should correspond to my integrated GPU not being
recognized. The reason could be that this APU was released after the
currently available Guix version.

I continue the installation process: Graphical install using a terminal
base interface.

This is the partitioning scheme I set up (manually copied):

FRMW 1TB Card (scsi) /dev/sda 1000GB msdos
- Free space 4193kB
- 1 normal 1000GB

WD_BLACK SN850X 2000GB (nvme) /dev/nvme0n1 2000GB gpt
- 8  1074MB   fat32     boot,esp   /boot/efi     boot
- 1  322GB    xfs                  /
- 2  103GB    linux-swap(v1)       swap
- 3  10.7GB   ext4                 /var
- 4  2147MB   ext4                 /temp
- 6  107GB    xfs                  /opt
- 5  859GB    ext4                 /home
- 7  21.5GB   ext4                 /crypt   Yes
     573GB    Free space

The configuration proceeds smoothly until the end.

The installation process starts, and these are the last logs produced
before the failure:

Thank you for your help.

If the official installer runs, I imagine the installed image should at
least be functional enough to enter a terminal and run an update. You
probably do *not* need to do the following, but I'll mention it just in case:

One solution could be to generate a newer installer image instead of
starting on the 1.4.0 release and use this new image for the
installation. Ordinarily you'd be able to do so from
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/, but Cuirass seems to not
support downloading build outputs from a web browser for one reason or
another.

If you have an existing Linux system, you can install Guix on a foreign
distribution, ensure it's up-to-date via $ guix pull and $ guix
describe, then generate a new installation iso via $ guix system image
-e '(@ (gnu system install) installation-os)' --image-type=iso9660.

Again, probably not necessary.

Can you post the output of the build log mentioned in those messages? I
assume the ... was added by you and the full path was printed, but if
not you should be able to get the path via $ guix build --log-file slock.

Hi Richard,

I tried to install the latest build (from 06/06/2024), and I get the exact
same issue.

I have not been able to copy files to a USB flash drive in the current
system status (even if I have access to the command line, but with an
extremely small set of available commands).

I attached some screenshots.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,
Pietro
