The same derivation (with the same hash) passes this test and builds successfully on my YeeLoong. Perhaps the problem is related to the kernel you're using? I built it on linux-libre-3.10.15. In any case, since I'm unable to reproduce the problem on my end, you'll need to take the lead on debugging this. I'd recommend building it again using "guix build -K" so that the build directory is kept, and then you can investigate further. There might be a log file associated with that test with more information, or perhaps you can run the test manually under a debugger or under strace and find out more. You could also try a newer kernel. As you probably know, the Linux-libre project builds Loongson-patched kernels for gNewSense: http://linux-libre.fsfla.org/pub/linux-libre/lemote/gnewsense/pool/ linux-image-3.10.17-gnu_0loongsonlibre_mipsel.deb would correspond most closely to what worked for me, though beware that on my system at least, the wireless driver hangs the system, so I have to use ethernet instead. Good luck! Mark
