Hi there.
My setup is the following (LVM array containing a LUKS partition):
(mapped-devices
(list
(mapped-device
(source "HOMERAID")
(target "HOMERAID-HOMERAID_data")
(type lvm-device-mapping))
(mapped-device
(source "/dev/mapper/HOMERAID-HOMERAID_data")
(target "luks-f0a72a6c-499b-4445-8d13-21dc99337752")
(type luks-device-mapping
(file-systems
(cons*
(file-system
(mount-point "/")
(device (uuid "2e44f3f7-bb6b-43ac-933a-e8992bf10d29" 'ext4))
(type "ext4"))
(file-system
(mount-point "/home")
(device "/dev/mapper/luks-f0a72a6c-499b-4445-8d13-21dc99337752")
(type "ext4")
(dependencies mapped-devices))
(file-system
(mount-point "/boot/efi")
(device (uuid "DC58-946E" 'fat32))
(type "vfat"))
%base-file-systems)))
I use Guix System since 2022, and never had any problem booting with
this configuration. But I did update my system (and reconfigure it) last
week and now I can't boot. I don't have any older generation to restore
(yes I'm dumb, I executed a delete-generations to show how it works to a
friend), but I think the last working one was from July, 25th or just a
bit older.
I have in my /var/log/messages :
Aug 9 11:40:27 localhost vmunix: [7.525877] udevd[515]: failed
to execute '/usr/bin/systemd-run' '/usr/bin/systemd-run --no-block
--property DefaultDependencies=no --unit lvm-activate-HOMERAID
/gnu/store/hffkn63zx2zjadawrkxpnr486frc9n74-lvm2-2.03.21/sbin/lvm
vgchange -aay --autoactivation event HOMERAID': No such file or directory
On the screen, during boot, I obtain a wall of messages like (not the
exact message, sorry, can't find on syslog) "Device
HOMERAID-HOMERAID_data could not be found: does not exist or access
denied" and after that the system hangs.
However, I can boot successfully if and only if I press Scroll Lock just
after modesetting and before this message ("Device ... not be found")
appears and when I press it again (to deactivate its effect) after some
seconds, the LUKS passphrase prompt appears and allows me to boot properly.
I can use my system but it requires multiple tries each time x) I have
to be really synchronized with the modesetting and the message xD
Thank you very much.
Freely,
