Hi,
i now look at the FAT filesystem images of Debian Live 9 and Guix 0.16.0:
Guix:
- There is an MBR partition table in the image file:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/mnt/iso/efi.img1 * 0 2879 2880 1.4M 1 FAT12
- Program "file" says:
DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2,
OEM-ID "MTOO4021",
root entries 224, sectors 2880 (volumes <=32 MB) ,
sectors/FAT 9, sectors/track 18,
serial number 0x336648a7, unlabeled,
FAT (12 bit), followed by FAT
Debian:
- No partition table in image.
- Program "file" says:
DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2,
OEM-ID "mkfs.fat",
sectors/cluster 4, root entries 512, sectors 832 (volumes <=32 MB) ,
Media descriptor 0xf8,
sectors/FAT 1, sectors/track 32, heads 64,
serial number 0x64c6c435, unlabeled, FAT (12 bit)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My favorite suspect would be the partition table in Guix /efi.img.
To kill table entry 1 after having put the Guix EFI image back into
partition 2 of the USB stick:
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=16 seek=446 of=/dev/sdc1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If this does not help, then create a new empty FAT filesystem image,
mount it, and copy the tree from the mounted Guix /efi.img into it.
The new filesystem should have between 200 KiB and 1.4 MiB.
(The Guix image of 1.4 MiB still has 90 % of its capacity free.)
Then put the new filesystem into /dev/sdc2 and see what happens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If this does not help, then copy again the Debian efi.img into partition 2,
mount it, and replace the file bootx64.efi by the one of the mounted
Guix efi.img.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
