Getting a lot closer. I am now able to complete the system installation without having to compile a single package. However, when I boot I'm thrown in a guile debugger. ext2fs_check_if_mount: Can't check if filesystem is mounted due to missing mtab file when determining whether /dev/sdb1 is mounted. fsck.ext4: No such device or address while trying to open /dev/sdb1 Possibily non-existent or swap device? 'fsck.ext4' exited with code 8 on /dev/sdb1 I'm not sure if this problem has to do with some of the oddities of this particular machine. It runs coreboot, and the grub menu that I get initially isn't the grub.cfg that guix installs. So, I drop to the grub console and `set root=3D(ahci0,msdos1)` and `configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg` to get to the menu. I also ran `(file-exists? "/dev/sdb1")` at the debugger prompt and the return value was #t. Any ideas? --=20 David Thompson Web Developer - Free Software Foundation - http://fsf.org GPG Key: 0FF1D807 Support the FSF: https://fsf.org/donate
