I did as you suggested, and unfortunately the patch has no observable effect on my system. I can't say it comes as a surprise. Indeed, what the patch does is set the environment variable `GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES` before calling `grub-install`, which is expected to have no effect: this variable is used by `grub-mkconfig` to generate a `grub.cfg`, but the code in Guix assembles a Grub configuration file itself and never calls `grub-mkconfig`. The same applies to the variable `GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK`, by the way. Maybe the way `grub.cfg` is produced has changed at some point in history ? The only hypothesis I can make is that it would influence `grub-install` by preloading the given modules in the installed image, but that is not the case. According to Grub's documentation, passing `--modules=...` to `grub-install` would have this effect, but I'm not sure it is the right approach. -- Emmanuel
