Installing Guix System on Honeycomb LX2 (aarch64)

[Ricardo Wurmus]

Hi,

I’m trying to install Guix System on three aarch64 machines that are supposed to join the build farm. I followed the instructions at [1] to boot and flash Ubuntu onto the SSD. Then I installed Guix with the installer script at https://guix.gnu.org/install.sh.

And then I tried installing a honeycomb system with the attached module for the maintenance.git repository.

honeycomb.scm
Description: Binary data

The system definition looks like this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (sysadmin honeycomb))
(honeycomb-system "pankow"
                 #:wireguard-ip "10.0.0.8/32")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And I attempt to build the system with

  guix system build -L modules my-system.scm



  guix system: error: cloning builder process: Invalid argument

from within the ‘hydra‘ directory of the maintenance checkout. Unfortunately, I’ll eventually always run into this error: I already tried using a more recent daemon, but to no avail. I worked around this by running the daemon with “--disable-chroot”, but that’s not great. Is this a bug? What can I do to get around it without having to disable the chroot feature?
