How did you populate > that chroot? Could it be that it misses some store items? I am not running this in a chroot. I am afraid the explanation of what I was doing was a bit unclear. I was able to reproduce the error with the following steps: $ mkdir test $ cd test $ qemu-img create -f raw test.img 7G $ cfdisk test.img I selected gpt and wrote two partitions: the first one with a size of 1M and type BIOS boot, the second with a size of 7G and type Linux filesystem. $ sudo losetup --partscan --show --find test.img /dev/loop1 $ sudo mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/loop1p2 $ sudo mount /dev/loop1p2 /mnt $ sudo mkdir /mnt/etc $ sudo sh -c "sed 's#/dev/sdX#/dev/loop1#g' ../.config/guix/latest/gnu/system/examples/bare-bones.tmpl > /mnt/etc/config.scm" $ sudo guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/nxy7lfbh8mx7ndrigl1bi3clsm1pnhjh-bootloader-installer.drv /gnu/store/viyn658a9hgsf0g8r4lan24hb0f8515d-system /gnu/store/aaigj9lvdyx2wpyyc40z51mjl7ff1zr5-grub.cfg /gnu/store/m74kz7rvxyzabx6i4p8gd9anws84s45z-grub-2.02 /gnu/store/s4bxrnb584jm0cy5gm3jr8hva341cj2f-bootloader-installer Betriebssystem unter »/mnt« wird initialisiert … In execvp of /gnu/store/d4wwx93gqizx132zjk7h1ir7rzph0pig-guix-0.12.0-10.ba2260d/sbin/guix-register: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden guix system: error: failed to register '/gnu/store/2g4dzfcs6nf906d7jl6q225llmnv7krl-linux-libre-4.15' under '/mnt' copying to '/mnt'... It does not matter that it is a loopback device. The same thing happens if I try to install it on a USB flash drive. The issue seems to be that there is no d4wwx93gqizx132zjk7h1ir7rzph0pig-guix-0.12.0-10.ba2260d/ in my store. All I could find was this: 80k8kz7qk9palbn0ccw7y3fgym8jxlps-guix-0.12.0-10.ba2260d/ Greetings Diego
