I want to add an menu-entry in bootloader-configuration. I use
uuid to specify the partition in device field of menu-entry ,
because my partition has no label. But when I use 'guix system
reconfigure', guix system reports an error: "guix system: error:
#<<uuid> type: dce bv: #vu8(109 91 19 212 96 146 70 208
139 228 7 61 192 116 19 204)>: invalid G-_expression_ input"
After asking friends in #guixcn, I still can't get more error
messages. It's the only error message. I can't find its reason.
To
find the problem, I also simplified my
configuration file and tried to use ‘git
bisect’ to find it, but I failed. I couldn't find a good commit.
I rolled back to c1719a0 commit in git repository, but I still
got the error message after building and using './pre-inst-env
guix system build ./config-test.scm'. I had to give up solving
it and just send an email to report the bug.
My English is poor. I use translation software. If
the grammar is wrong, please forgive me.

Pushed in:
3294fa2ba4 tests: Add test for menu-entry roundtrips as sexps.
0811d2cb8d bootloader: Convert device in menu-entry to proper sexp.
