Issue reported persists whether I use '/dev/sda1' or'/dev/sda' (reason I tried 'sda1' is another long story to= do
with libreboot, grub and GPT partiton table...)

I did discove= r something curious: my guix version seems unchanged
even after multiple= 'guix system reconfigure' invocations. I do
believe I heeded th= e documentation to do a 'guix pull' before the
first reconfigure= . Still, invocations of 'guix',
'/var/guix/profiles/system-1= -link/profile/bin/guix --version' and
'/var/guix/profiles/system= -11-link/profile/bin/guix --version'
all produce:

=C2=A0 guix= (GNU Guix) 12e352dbcfc07b870c812999ae81c16f0aa8dc2c
=C2=A0 Copyright...=

I tracked down the above three guix invocations to '.guix-real&= #39;
files in different '/gnu/store/<hash>-0.14.0-11.ab85cf7/b= in'
subdirectories. While the <hash> differed, the '.guix-= real' in
all seems (except for some pathnames) the same.

Coul= d this indicate why I'm facing the services not restarting
error? In= any case could you (or someone else) please help
resolve the problem. I= have reasonable experience with guile and
can try to fix this on my own= if given reasonable guidance
regarding where the problem may lie.

Did you mean =E2=80=9C/dev/sda=E2=80=9D instead?
