I've got some new stuff: Using Grub2 command line I am able to invoke `ls` to see all available device / partitions and guixsd bootable partition is present as (hd0,msdos1).
So I want to boot Linux manually from Grub2 command line. set root=(hd0,msdos1) Next steps are to set boot files and boot prompt. I found nothing like "vmlinuz" at the root (it would be too easy) but after some meandering I find the two files /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img and /boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img linux /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img returns error: "invalid magic number" linux /boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img returns error: "unexpected end of file /boot/grub/i386-pc/boot.img" I have some questions: - Where in the bootable partition is the boot file I should launch? - If this boot file is core.img, how should I fix this magic number? - If this boot file is boot.img, how do I make sure the file has been correctly copied? - Is the image really usable "out of the box" or does it require some tuning? Thanks in advance. piotr On 09/04/2017, 良ϖ <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I've followed instructions on this page: > https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/USB-Stick-Installation.html#USB-Stick-Installation > > everything goes smoothly and at the end I get a partition named > "gnu-disk-image" with flag "boot".
