I downloaded the 1.0.1 image from the guix webpage and wrote a bootable DVD
and used the graphical installer on a machine (lenova thinkpad t410 64bit)

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
I had the same issue on a Hystou P04 and managed to reproduce it several 
times.
Attached to this email is the dump of the installer.

Start the installation process but try to make it fail,
for example by removing the EFI partition during the guided partition,
and when the "Installation failed" menu appear choose "Retrysystem 
install",
on the right. Then restart the installation process with the
same choices and the installer will crash after selecting the keyboard 
layout
variant.

Some time, if you wait for a few minutes before retrying the 
installation, the
crash won't be triggered but then the disk you partitioned during the 
first
installation process won't be available anymore in the disk selection 
menu.

The choices I entered in the installation wizard was:
1. English
2. United States
3. Graphical install
4. Europe
5. Paris
6. English (US)
7. English (intl., with AltGr dead keys)

Hi Mathieu,

When you get a chance, could you please share the details or suggestions to
proceed further with my GUIX installation on the lenova T410 x86 Intel?

Appreciate your help!

Hello !

Sorry for my late reply. This is strange because the error seems to
indicate an issue with kmscon but you wouldn't get there if it was failing
to start. Could you try to disable the NVIDIA GPU in the bios and report
back?

Thanks for your patience,

Mathieu

Hello !

You're hitting two problems.
The first one is the one from the screenshot attached.
Then, you seem to restart the installation and it fails with "Unable to
locate keymap update file" which is (sadly) expected, because installation
restart always fails.
So we need to understand why the installer tries to build binutils instead
of relying on substitutes and why it fails.

Someone ?

Mathieu

Hi!

Could it be that there was a transient networking issue at the time of
installation?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
