dear Guixers,
on one of my installs i ran the following two commands as root:
guix gc --delete-generations=60d
guix system delete-generations 60d
i think i ran a reboot pretty soon after this, and the machine is failing to boot with the error "no code for module (ice-9 popen)".
i'm attaching a photo of the kernel panic screen.
the delete-generations left 3 generations, but all the three fail the same way.
i'll keep the machine as-is for a while if some inspection would help by providing logs/data. i also want to fix it and have it running soonish, so let me know if there's anything valuable i should extract from it before attempting to fix it. i hope a chroot and a reconfigure will fix it.
i think i ran the commands multiple times with different time ranges, and in different order.
i did something similar on another install, but IIRC i also ran a `guix system reconfigure` prior to the reboot, and that install didn't break.
HTH,
