Hi!
Currently i am trying to create an guix image which will boot on
embedded imx6 arm32 board. Following the guix manual, i was able to
create such an image. This involved adding a custom uboot version and a
kernel with custom definition file. If flashed on an sdcard, the uboot
runs and the kernel boots. However, early on boot (presumably on
executing initrd.cpio.gz), an `record-abi-mismatch-error` is thrown and
a guix recovery repl is opened

Unfortunatly i have absolutely no clue what the problem could be. Could
it be that the image was compiled with a differnt guile version than
executet on the image? Could this explain the abi mismatch in the
`file-system` record?
Googling for the error i found the following post on this mailing list:
> https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2023-02/msg00147.html
Seems like Maxim Cournoyer had the same problem with a board with the
same socc (imx6). Unfortunatly no followup. (I mailed him in private in
case he come up with a solution. If so, i will document it here, so that
the next unlucky soul running into this error can find the solution).
I cross-compile the image on x64 with
> guix build -f custom-board.scm --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf -v3 -c2 -M2 -K --no-grafts
where `custom-board.scm` is my image definition (i can share it if
helpfull). Option `--no-grafts` is needed due to

For tips on how to debug this issue further i would be very
grateful. Feels like i am very close to a bootable image.

Your issue sounds very similar to the one described in
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/61173#4.
The TL;DR (although I encourage you to read it!) is that you need the
CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC Linux kernel compilation option set, but when you use
a linux-libre-*-generic kernel that option is NOT set. If you're using
the qemu-binfmt-service, you'll fail to boot and the error you posted
will occur before you're dropped into a REPL.
Unfortunately services do not currently have any mechanism to require or
check kernel config options.
Not knowing your operating-system declaration I can't tell for sure if
that is what's going on, but I suspect what I described or something
similar is the case.
If you confirm this is in fact the problem, feel free to leave a comment
on the issue!
Best of luck.
