The problematic use case was to try to produce a GuixSD arm installer for beaglebone black. The kernel linux-libre-arm-omap2plus I'm planning to use can't be used in qemu. Plus, I'd like to use a raw-initrd because linux-libre-arm-omap2plus is quite a light kernel configuration. As system-disk-image asks for base-initrd, the required modules won't be find during image construction with omap kernel. Do you have another idea on how to overcome this issue ? Thanks for the quick review, Mathieu
