1. generate the install image
 guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9600 --verbosity=3 --
root=installation-os-x86_64.iso  --system=x86_64-linux -e '(@ (gnu
system install) installation-os)'

2. examine the resulting iso
readlink installation-os-x86_64.iso | xargs file

output: /gnu/store/3xp541s4zrxass6h6rcwfz7bc33wv84p-disk-image: DOS/MBR
boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0x83, active, start-CHS (0x0,32,33), end-
CHS (0xe3,198,58), startsector 2048, 3657239 sectors; partition 2 :
ID=0xef, start-CHS (0xe3,198,59), end-CHS (0xe8,224,16), startsector
3659287, 81921 sectors

3. Compare this output with what file says about the official
installation iso:
wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linu
x.iso.xz
unxz guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso.xz
readlink guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso

output:guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso: DOS/MBR boot sector;
GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x79, boot drive 0xbb, stage2
address 0x8e70, 1st sector stage2 0xb8db31c3, stage2 segment 0x201;
partition 1 : ID=0xee, start-CHS (0x0,0,2), end-CHS (0x3f6,38,4),
startsector 1, 2694403 sectors, extended partition table (last)

It appears file discovered the GRand Unified Bootloader in the official
iso but not in the generated iso.

When I try to use the generated iso in virt-manager, it claims there
are no bootable drives. I think this is because the generated iso has
no GRUB.

The manual says to specify the file gnu/system/install.scm instead of
the value (@ (gnu system install) installation-os)) but ultimately they
give guix the same value, so I think that wouldn't make a difference.

removing --system=x86_64 does not trigger a full rebuild, so it looks
like guix does not expect to build anything different.

I tried generating an install image with --verbosity and another
without --verbosity. There was no difference because guix does not
expect the --verbosity option to make a difference.

I deleted the link and ran the garbage collector, then tried building
the image without --verbosity, but file does not detect grub. I think
it isn't a problem with 'file' because a virtual machine setup with
virt-manager does not think the ISO is bootable.

Is it possible that you are hit by this issue?
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36865
Could you try again after guix pull?

I don't see how grub.cfg not being a GC root could cause guix to build
an ISO without GRUB. Perhaps you could clarify your thoughts?

> Could you try again after guix pull?
I pull'd but nothing changed.


commit according to guix describe:
48752f277c589435aab4d80947fa80f01577d55d


> Best regards,

I tried the following:
cd ~/.config/guix/current/share/guile/site/2.2/gnu/system/examples/
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9600 bare-bones.tmpl |
xargs file

end result:
/gnu/store/g1ba8gkhkcjkdraxpnrw166i5qpa7cb9-disk-image: DOS/MBR boot
sector; partition 1 : ID=0x83, active, start-CHS (0x0,32,33), end-CHS
(0xac,86,27), startsector 2048, 2766577 sectors; partition 2 : ID=0xef,
start-CHS (0xac,86,28), end-CHS (0xb1,111,48), startsector 2768625,
81921 sectors


As you can see, GRUB was not detected by file.

I noticed guix outputs odd characters when I try to build an ISO.
Here's a sample:
/��@ build-log 23054 1
�@ build-log 23054 1
�@ build-log 23054 1

Perhaps this could be related.

I'm curious if anyone is able to replicate this bug.

Hi,

could you check gnu/bootloader/grub.scm install-grub (and maybe install-grub-efi) ?
They are build-side code so you can just use (write "foo\n") to add debugging messages.
Interesting would be DEVICE, MOUNT-POINT.

FWIW, I successfully built a new installation iso image from guix master (and booted it) a few days ago.

I still have that image and file(1) says:

>guix-master-i686.iso: DOS/MBR boot sector; GRand Unified Bootloader, stage1 version 0x79, boot drive 0xbb, stage2 address 0x8e70, 1st sector stage2 0xb8db31c3, stage2 segment 0x201; partition 2 : ID=0xef, start-CHS (0x3ff,63,32), end-CHS (0x3ff,63,32), startsector 2483356, 5760 sectors

The former.  I've now tried the invocation you used and I get both the funny
characters and the image without grub in it.

Then I tried the invocation I usually use and it's the same, funny characters
and the image is without grub.

Something is definitely up O_o

I tried re-enabling verbose debugging in the following script:

guix gc
guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9600 --verbosity=2 -e '(@
(gnu system install) installation-os)'

 and got the attached log. Note the following near the end:

Am I really the only one who has this issue? Could it be related to

Debugging it some further, it's trying to format an iso9660 partition inside the VM.

There's an (error ...) inside the VM and the later Guix parts say "successfully built". WTF?!

There's a typo there :)

You wrote: iso9600
It should be: iso9660

But the error message could be vastly improved O_o

It looks like this solves the issue.

Wow, nice...

Yes, it is quite a hard to spot...

As it turns out, what happens is this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
creating partition table with 2 partitions (1351.0 MiB, 40.0 MiB)....
Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance..

Unfortunately, as noted in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/34276>,
that still produces an image, albeit a broken image.

I’m merging the bugs.

To be continued…
