Hi,

I have been trying to install guix into a qemu virtual machine on
windows. I've tried it several times and it fails with the same error.

Instructions taken from this site
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Running-Guix-in-a-VM.html

qemu didn't like the -enable-kvm switch, so I left that out.

Thanks,

Graham
