guix system init config.scm mnt failed with kernel module not found

[Tobias Alexandra Platen]

Hello,

After a long time, I tried running "guix system init config.scm mnt" on
my Talos II which failed, as I expected: 

gnu/build/linux-modules.scm:278:5: kernel module not found "uas"
"/gnu/store/gi6layj85kmkwk0s6x415zwsmzczh2vv-linux-libre-
6.11.5/lib/modules"

I guess that the "USB Attached SCSI" kernel module is missing in the
ppc64le kernel defconfig, but not in the x86 version. The solution
would be to pass a custom kernel config to linux-libre. I took the
system config from the manual:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html

I think you can address that by having

  (initrd-modules '())

or something similar in your ‘operating-system’ declaration.

HTH!
