Hi,

That means you’re using a procedure in a gexp, as in:

  #~(foo bar #$proc)

where ‘proc’ is a procedure.

Given the location info and argument name, we can tell that procedure
comes from ‘profile-derivation’, right…

>                          (initrd -> (operating-system-initrd-file os))
>                          (params    (operating-system-boot-parameters-file os)))
>        (return `(("kernel" ,kernel)

> +                   (packages->manifest (cons kernel kernel-module-packages))

… here.  ↑

This is because ‘profile-derivation’ is a monadic procedure, so it’s
result is a “monadic value”, which is technically a procedure.

You need to move the ‘profile-derivation’ call within the ‘mlet’.

HTH!

Ludo’.
