When rebooting I get dropped to a "grub rescue>" shell with an error about "grub_file_filters" being an unknown symbol. If I try doing the usual commands to tell GRUB how to boot I just see the above error repeated, or "unknown command" when I run things such as insmod or "configfile". So to fix the problem I can boot to a Guix install disk and do "guix init" which rebuilds the system using older package definitions from the disk. That allows me to get a working system, but if I do another "guix pull" and reconfigure using the same config file it breaks GRUB again when I reboot. "guix describe" shows that my latest attempt was with commit 35600cd. Here is the bootloader and filesystem sections of my config: (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader) (target "/boot/efi"))) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (device "/dev/sda2") (mount-point "/boot/efi") (type "vfat")) (file-system (device (file-system-label "guixsd-root")) (mount-point "/") (type "ext4")) %base-file-systems)) I should make a note that I usually don't use efi, and I'm not completely confident it's all set up properly. I do have a "BIOS boot" partition on /dev/sda1 too, is that even needed with efi? Although, I have been using this setup, and the above definitions, for about 6 months now without any bootloader or filesystem issues. And the same config is being used to fix the system when GRUB breaks as well as to reconfigure afterward (causing the breakage). So my guess is some new update is the culprit.

Would you be willing to see > if the patch provided by #36947 fixes your issue? I'm sorry to report that it actually didn't fix the problem. Also I don't know why it didn't occur to me to mention this detail before, but the reason I previously thought the message mentioned in bug#36878 was important is because it's actually the very last thing I see on the command line after reconfiguring. The line I'm talking about is of course: shepherd: Evaluating user expression (let* ((services (map primitive-load (?))) # ?) ?) I'm pretty sure even if that message is normal, it's not normal for it to be the last line you see. Perhaps the reconfigure is dying at that point, or some point shortly after, without outputting any other errors.

As you requested here is the partitions as listed by parted: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 3046kB 2097kB grub bios_grub 2 3146kB 540MB 537MB fat32 efi boot, esp 3 540MB 2588MB 2048MB linux-swap(v1) swap 4 2588MB 750GB 748GB ext4 guixsd /boot/efi looks ok as far as I can tell at least.

But please don't feel obligated to keep working on this just for me, I'm perfectly fine just reinstalling. The issue doesn't seem to affect my desktop anyway, I was able to upgrade it smoothly. It's always possible the issue was caused by some strange combination involving the patched bug, from earlier in the discussion, and my weird partition layout. Might not even be worth investigating unless it happens to someone else (or me again after a fresh install).

Nearly the same as what I had, though my partitions had different sizes and I didn't have a swap partition.

I think it may be indicative of a more serious problem, since you mentioned that this was fine up until the commit refactoring 'guix system reconfigure'. If you're willing to reinstall and see if you can reproduce it, that maywould be helpful -- you could send me the relevant 'install-bootloader.scm' store item if it breaks again. Thank you very much, ison. I appreciate your cooperation here greatly.

I think I know what's going on. The new 'guix system reconfigure' uses G-Expressions, and it looks like Grub is being ungexp'd for the wrong architecture. To be sure, what's the architecture of this machine? I'll investigate further and let you know what I find. Thanks again for doing this.

When rebooting I get dropped to a "grub rescue>" shell with an error about "grub_file_filters" being an unknown symbol. If I try doing the usual commands to tell GRUB how to boot I just see the above error repeated, or "unknown command" when I run things such as insmod or "configfile". So to fix the problem I can boot to a Guix install disk and do "guix init" which rebuilds the system using older package definitions from the disk. That allows me to get a working system, but if I do another "guix pull" and reconfigure using the same config file it breaks GRUB again when I reboot. "guix describe" shows that my latest attempt was with commit 35600cd. Here is the bootloader and filesystem sections of my config: (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader) (target "/boot/efi"))) (file-systems (cons* (file-system (device "/dev/sda2") (mount-point "/boot/efi") (type "vfat")) (file-system (device (file-system-label "guixsd-root")) (mount-point "/") (type "ext4")) %base-file-systems)) I should make a note that I usually don't use efi, and I'm not completely confident it's all set up properly. I do have a "BIOS boot" partition on /dev/sda1 too, is that even needed with efi? Although, I have been using this setup, and the above definitions, for about 6 months now without any bootloader or filesystem issues. And the same config is being used to fix the system when GRUB breaks as well as to reconfigure afterward (causing the breakage). So my guess is some new update is the culprit. ------------=_1566814864-27414-1-- From unknown Tue Jun 17 22:26:45 2025 X-Loop: help-debbugs@gnu.org Subject: bug#36942: Reconfigure broke GRUB Resent-From: ison Original-Sender: "Debbugs-submit" Resent-CC: bug-guix@gnu.org Resent-Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2019 03:17:02 +0000 Resent-Message-ID: Resent-Sender: help-debbugs@gnu.org X-GNU-PR-Message: followup 36942 X-GNU-PR-Package: guix X-GNU-PR-Keywords: To: Ludovic =?UTF-8?Q?Court=C3=A8s?= Cc: "Jakob L.

For the record I attempted another install just now and it was successful. I'm not sure exactly what caused the initial breakage or what fixed it, but I'm glad it's working now. Thanks again for the help.
