I'm consistently running into this error when running `guix pull`.
What can I do to help debug?

Test suite failed, dumping logs.

Try using 'guix pull --keep-failed' and inspect the util-linux test
suite logs in /tmp/guix-build-util-linux-2.35.1.drv-0.

Did you intentionally disable binary substitutes?

There should be a test suite summary that we can use to corroborate the

Will do, sorry about that.

Attached. Looks like those three that I mentioned. Anything else look
interesting in there?

Thanks to a great coordinated effort on #guix, we tracked this problem
down to a regression in kernels 5.4.36 through 5.4.41 (or 5.6.8 through
5.6.13 for users tracking that branch).

You are running 5.4.38 according to the build log.

It has been fixed in the latest kernel releases (5.4.42 and 5.6.14).

I'm afraid you will have to downgrade your kernel in order to upgrade
Guix!  :-/

Ahh. Thanks for the response!

How do I do that? I would assume it would be documented here[0], but I
can't seem to find it anywhere in the manual.

There are a couple of options.  The easiest way is to boot into an older
generation before running 'guix pull', if you have any generations with
kernel < 5.4.36 lying around.

Another is to pin the kernel to an older revision of Guix using an
"inferior".  You would have to update your system configuration along
these lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (guix inferior)
             (guix channels))

;; A channel with Linux-Libre 5.4.35.
(define channels
  (list (channel
         (name 'guix)
         (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
         (commit "851a3a779a7173807683e0a3c4e118ef4d8eb0b7"))))

(define inferior
  ;; An inferior representing the above channel.
  (inferior-for-channels channels))

(define linux-libre-5.4.35
  (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "linux-libre <at> 5.4.35"))

(operating-system
  [...]
  (kernel linux-libre-5.4.35))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then reconfigure and reboot, of course.

Hope this helps!

This worked! Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay.. it took
awhile to update :)

Great, thanks for confirming.  Closing the issue!
