Hi Guix,
So I'm installing GuixSD on an external USB hard drive.
This is obviously quite useful to test and setup all before you switch
to it. I plan to eventually install on laptop.
I could do it in a VM but...
Anyway, the install went flawless and docs are great.
*After a reboot*, I did a guix pull and system reconfigure.
(I did change the drive letter, since post reboot grub was on sdb, not c)
I got an error saying:
unknown location, you may need these modules in the initrd: uas
usb_storage .
It then pastes the snippet of code. Really cool and useful.
Though, bit confused why the install worked and rebooted, yet post
reboot I now require it?
Moving on, I add the snippet of code but it errors out with:
usb_storage module not found.
A find shows the module is in the 4.16 dir, named usb-storage.
Note - not _.
I thought perhaps that's the issue so I changed the code to specify mod
usb-storage (not _).
However I then get the orig error, that I should add usb_storage mod in
initrd-modules.
Suppose the question is why is usb_storage not found?
Any ideas?
(sorry for lack of exact messages, don't have remote access to system at mo)
