Dear W. and guixers. [...]
The "e" over the debian entry shows that the UUID string is
cut by a space in the middle in what grub was understanding
and about to use as parameter. Deleting that space made
debian boot. :)
I am glad to hear that it is working.
What is strange is that there is no space in the
configuration file! [...] So, what could be changing this
UUID line (6fe52b2e-dd43-4a9b-b5e9-4c05fdc5975f) into 2
parts?
My guess is that it is an unprintable character in the file at
the point of the break. But I am biased since that scenario
has bitten my multiple times.
And you are right twice! :)
- If you want to confirm you can run 'od -a config.scm |
less' and see if there is a special character at the break
point.
I couldn't see it there (I never used that tool and don't know
what to search for); however...
- If you just want to try to get it to work and it is an
unprintable character. In an editor put your cursor on the
character after the break, back space until you delete the
character before the break, and then retype them.
This did the trick. :)
Now I can boot both OSs and this gives me more time to refine
the guix partition until it becomes workable. :)
Thank you very much.
I have some UX notes regarding the installation that will report
in the next days in the hope of making it easier for other
future, potential users to install and try guix. :)
Warmest regards...
