This should be fixed quickly. I agree that any bugs should be promptly fixed. However, I'm not yet convinced there's anything wrong with the image. We'll need more information to help you. The Qemu image on <https://guix.gnu.org/download/> hasn't been touched since May 2019 and still works for me today: λ curl -LI https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz λ unxz guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz λ qemu-system-x86_64 \ -net user -net nic,model=virtio \ -enable-kvm -m 512 \ -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \ -drive if=none,file=$PWD/guix-system-vm-image-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.xz,id=myhd # …and be greeted by a happy XFCE mouse. How, exactly, are you trying to run it, and which error(s) do you get?

The command line I used comes from here[0], which is linked as ‘Installation instructions’ immediately under the download link at [1]. I don't there's any room/need for improvement on that point. Does the image work for you that way?

Well, we had QEMU 2 until December 2018, so it's not really that far behind for a "stable model" distro like CentOS. QEMU has been incrementing their version number a lot lately. Josh, here is a link to the manual instructions from when we were using QEMU 2: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/doc/guix.texi?id=6512b96570f79c6d230363dfe2adbd159c7861f5#n21529 Can you try that? I would add more RAM. If it doesn't work, can you try consulting the man page for your QEMU to see how the commands might differ?
