This could be due to how you fiddled manually with /gnu/store and /var/guix. In general, one should never manually touch these directories; instead, one should use ‘guix gc’ and similar commands. > I also trying reinstalling guix by deleting /gnu, /var/guix, and > /var/log/guix (and also wiping the partition with rm) To be safe, could you start anew again, and report back? sudo rm -rf /gnu /var/guix # reinstall from binary tarball > (bootloader (grub-configuration (device "/dev/sda9"))) There’s a mistake here: it should be “/dev/sda” (say), not “/dev/sda9” (the latter designates a partition, whereas the former designates a disk.) It doesn’t matter here since you passed --no-grub, but it would otherwise lead to a ‘grub-install’ failure. HTH, Ludo’.
