But I can add more duplication and describe what happened in my case: Situation and Expectation: uefi and bios (separate "and", not "bios and uefi") computers No system installed. GuixSD 0.13 installer should simply work as per instructions and the way I know it. Problem: When you reach the point where you run "guix system init /path/to/config.sc= m /mnt" and guix gets build, reaching its 'make check', 2 tests (as linked above) f= ail. Solution: See previous message I wrote here about guix environment --ad-hoc guix.=
