[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Today it seems I hit this bug.

The last days I've been upgrading this machine with guix pull, and have been
booting and reconfiguring fine until a few hours ago.

Also, sorry about formatting.

My config contained:

 (initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest)
	   ;; Add a kernel module for RAID-0 (aka. "stripe")
           ;; and RAID-1 (aka. "mirror").
	   (apply base-initrd file-systems
		  #:extra-modules '("raid0" "raid1")
		  rest)))

And I got an error from guix system reconfigure/build:

<unknown location>: error: you may need these modules in the initrd
for /dev/sdg2: uas usb_storage
hint: Try adding them to the `initrd-modules' field of your
`operating-system' declaration, (initrd-modules (append (list "uas"
"usb_storage")

The machine has the OS on a usb stick because all the internal SATA drives
are RAID and I prefer to separate them. This machine has been configured like
this for a long time.


After following the recommendation (and finding the module in store is
actually named usb-storage.ko) I end up with the following config snippet:

 (initrd-modules (append (list "uas" "usb-storage" "raid0" "raid1")
                         %base-initrd-modules))

 (initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest)
	   ;; Add a kernel module for RAID-0 (aka. "stripe")
           ;; and RAID-1 (aka. "mirror").
	   (apply base-initrd file-systems
		  #:extra-modules '("raid0" "raid1"); "uas" "usb-storage")
		  rest)))

This works if I use --skip-checks. But with checks it gives me the same error
as above, changing the initrd-modules line to:

 (initrd-modules (append (list "uas" "usb_storage" "raid0" "raid1")

Gives the following error:
