Hello Efraim,

Thanks for reporting. There's this small snippet in uvesafb-service:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (or (not (and (string-suffix? "linux-gnu" %host-type)
                (or (string-prefix? "x86_64" %host-type)
                    (string-prefix? "i686" %host-type))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which must then fail? Do you have a specific error message?

Thanks,

Mathieu
