Subject: bug#27007: [PATCH 1/2] bootloader: Use menu-entry to define custom bootloader entries.
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 13:14:54 +0200

Hi Mathieu,

>Well I tried to run GuixSD without initrd and it's not possible yet.

People apparently start other Linux distributions with it :)

>a more consequent rework.

Uuuh another person hit the boot-parameters usability problem.  Let's get this patchset in and rework it later.

How's the error reporting?  If a user still has boot-parameters in his bootloader configuration menu-entries, will "guix system reconfigure" fail *before* he reboots?  If so, does the error message hint on how to fix it?

LGTM as is.  The user interface is now the same as it had been before (in 0.13.0) - so it's an improvement.

I just checked:  The 0.13.0 release is safe.  Phiew.
