Subject: bug#30311: efi-less grub install fails
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 19:55:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <idjmv0t503l.fsf@bimsb-sys02.mdc-berlin.net> (raw)

“guix system init” fails with a configuration file that specifies
grub-bootloader (not grub-efi-bootloader).

“grub-install” reports an error about “lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh”
not being available.  It suggests passing “--target” or “--device”.

Our invocation of grub-install does not include a “--target” argument.
Only after I edited it to pass “--target=i386-pc” did “guix system init”
pass.

This is on an x86_64 laptop where “legacy” BIOS booting is enabled.
