I came across this too recently, because of a bug in the efivar package that affects some platforms: https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/issues/111 So I downgraded it in 887fe1fbde7d72788ec348ab4665e1df3d0d704f. Which commit did you run the reconfigure command on? A bigger problem is that GRUB will happily wipe the bootloader entry, proceed to try to make a new one which fails, and then exit with status code 0. I wonder if this has been reported upstream. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I didn't pay enough attention to the output of 'guix system reconfigure' to notice anything strange, so I don't know if a problem had been indicated. Kind regards, Roel Janssen

Re: EFI entry got removed after system reconfigure
Le 2018-07-05 09:39, Roel Janssen a écrit : Dear Guix, I ran: $ guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm Which succeeded. Then rebooted, to find that my computer wouldn't boot anymore due to a missing EFI entry. So I created a new entry from a LiveUSB using “efibootmgr” to boot into GuixSD again. Is this a known problem, and will it happen again when I reconfigure the system? Kind regards, Roel Janssen Hi Roel, this shouldn't happen. Can you share your configuration?
