So guix pulling the old Guix commit 37099f58442419ebd847616ffe21b19c4b655a41 without the patch boots fine on QEMU and my grandma’s 10-years-old non-AMD BIOS laptop. The more current commit 0e558640361b6ab4aac0f424cb587b21a642bab8 without the patch runs into a Guile prompt because of an error in resolve-variable of something with setuid-binaries on grandma’s laptop and into a different error and a Guile prompt on QEMU with [ 9.426604] random: dbus-uuidgen: uninitialized urandom read (12 bytes read) [ 9.518845] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 9.519037] sda: rw=524288, want=3194596, limit=3184000 ERROR: In procedure primitive-load: In procedure fport_read: Input/output error 0e558640361b6ab4aac0f424cb587b21a642bab8 with the AMD Radeon patch runs into a kernel panic on QEMU and grandma’s laptop. I have not tested AMD Radeon. Regards, Florian
