Hi Andreas,
Ah, so my `(use-modules)` needed A, not B.
Ie the `image` form is coming from `gnu.image`, not `gnu.system.image`.
But then what is the difference between these two modules?
When would I use `gnu.system.image` instead of `gnu.image`?
A. (gnu image)
B. (gnu system image)
Either way, I've gotten a step further.
But I've run across another problem building a Qemu VM image.
The vm definition in C gives me the error in D. Anything that I'm missing?
C
(use-modules (gnu)
(gnu image)
(gnu system vm)
(gnu system)
(gnu system file-systems))
(load "system.scm")
(define (boot-partition size)
(file-system
(mount-point "/boot")
(device "/dev/vda1")
(type "ext4")))
(define (root-partition size)
(file-system
(mount-point "/")
(device "/dev/vda1")
(type "ext4")))
(define vm-image
(image
(operating-system physical-operating-system)
(format 'compressed-qcow2)
(size (* 10 (expt 2 30)))
(partitions
(list (boot-partition (* 1 (expt 2 30)))
(root-partition (* 9 (expt 2 30)))))))
vm-image
D
$ guix system image -t qcow2 vm.scm
