It suggests passing =E2=80=9C--target=E2=80=9D or =E2= =80=9C--device=E2=80=9D. Our invocation of grub-install does not include a =E2=80=9C--target=E2=80= =9D argument. Only after I edited it to pass =E2=80=9C--target=3Di386-pc=E2=80=9D did =E2= =80=9Cguix system init=E2=80=9D pass. This is on an x86_64 laptop where =E2=80=9Clegacy=E2=80=9D BIOS booting i= s enabled. -- Ricardo
