Hello Guix.

I:
   1. had linux-libre-arm64-generic as my kernel.

   3. ran `guix system reconfigure`.

   5. rebooted, and were unable to log-in (get no prompt).


customized: i set a 'CONFIG_CGROUP_FREEZER=y' in kconfig.

2. added only (elogind-service-type) to my Guix System's config. 4. get some errors: "///sys/something/freezer cannot be something". The issue was solved by using the same linux-libre-arm64-generic, but

This option is enabled in all of our kernel configurations:

------
$ git grep CGROUP_FREEZER

(define-public linux-libre-arm64-generic
 (make-linux-libre* linux-libre-version
                    linux-libre-source
                    '("aarch64-linux")
                    #:defconfig "defconfig"
                    #:extra-version "arm64-generic"
                    #:extra-options
                    (append

                       ("CONFIG_RTC_DRV_RK808" . #t))
                     %default-extra-linux-options)))


Note the missing #:configuration-file.



Allegedly.

Kind regards,

Indeed, and the bug[0] reported here is that -generic doesn't use these configurations at all: `(;; needed to fix the RTC on rockchip platforms [0]: I don't know if this is really a bug--in fact I suspect it's the raison d'être of this variant--but this needs to be better documented and perhaps even renamed. To me, ‘generic’ means ‘distro default’, or perhaps ‘sanely minimal’, not ‘our own upstream's sometimes questionable defconfig that can't boot our own desktop’.
