This is strange. When you reconfigure, Guix should print the
grub-install command that was used, which should include both --target
and --directory.
The full message is:
guix system: error:
'/gnu/store/v77n5m....grub-efi-2.06/sbin/grub-install --boot-directory
//boot --bootloader-id=Guix --efi-directory=/boot/efi' exited with
status 1; output follows:
/gnu/store/.../grub-install: error:
/gnu/store/.../lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please
specify --target or --directory'
Note that the grub-install command doens't contain '--target' or
'--directory'. (Also: my system is x64, and this seems to be for i386.
Should there be a --target=x64_86-efi somewhere?)
However, perhaps the chroot is at fault: Before chrooting to, let’s
say, /mnt with chroot /mnt, you need to have mounted the /dev/sdXy
file system with EFI on it (that which is declared in your config.scm)
to /mnt/boot/efi.
I have in my config 'target /boot/efi'. My EFI partition is /dev/sda1.
If I mount it like
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt2
(/mnt2 because I already have my /dev/sda3 partition with guix at /mnt)
I find the following layout:
/mnt2/EFI/
EFI
grub
Guix
what would be the correct bind mount? I tried
# mount --bind /mnt2/EFI /boot/efi
so I now have
/boot/efi/
EFI
grub
Guix
Any idea if that is the desired layout?
thanks!
