Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
When building linux-libre-arm64-generic with %base-initrd-modules, the
linux-modules derivation fails with `kernel module not found "ahci"'.
Here's the steps to reproduce:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat minimal.scm
(use-modules
(gnu packages linux)
(gnu bootloader)
(gnu bootloader grub)
(gnu system file-systems))
(operating-system
(host-name "foobar")
(timezone "Australia/Sydney")
(locale "en_AU.utf8")
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-efi-removable-bootloader)
(targets '("/boot/efi"))))
(kernel linux-libre-arm64-generic)
(file-systems (cons* (file-system
(device (file-system-label "my-root"))
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))
(file-system
(device (file-system-label "boot"))
(mount-point "/boot/efi")
(type "vfat"))
%base-file-systems)))
$ guix time-machine --commit=a99015c8783eb5281618173779a0550b15a79617 --
system reconfigure minimal.scm

This fails beacuse %base-initrd-modules expects the "ahci" module, but
linux-libre-arm64-generic has that built in[0].
Workarounds for users include:
* use linux-libre-5.17, which has the disadvantage that
linux-libre-5.17 is built from aux-files/linux-libre/*.conf rather
than defconfig, thus making it less clear how much linux-libre-5.17
has deviated from mainline's defconfig.
* don't use %base-initrd-modules, which has the disadvantage that users
have to figure out which modules should be in their initrd
* disabling the check (?), which has the disadvantage that the check can be useful
Ideally users could use linux-libre-arm64-generic with
%base-initrd-modules. To do this, we could:
* replace "CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=m" with "CONFIG_SATA_AHCI=y" in
gnu/packages/aux-files/linux-libre/*.conf .
* remove "ahci" from %base-initrd-modules
This amounts to converging aux-files/linux-libre/* towards the mainline
defconfigs. Is this a goal?
Thoughts?
