Hello the Guix Community, I am struggling to get my Guix System boot.
This was my previous /etc/config.scm configuration: ``` (use-modules (gnu) (gnu packages linux) (gnu packages cryptsetup) (gnu services desktop) (gnu services ssh) (gnu system) (gnu system linux-initrd) (guix) (guix packages) (guix gexp) (srfi srfi-1) (ice-9 regex)) (use-package-modules emacs librewolf tor-browsers wget text-editors toys games fcitx5 fonts shells)(define font-packages (fold-packages (lambda (pkg acc) (if (string-match "^font-" (package-name pkg))
(cons pkg acc) acc)) '())) ;; --- grub-efi with LUKS+LVM support --- ;; Build a small installer that creates an EFI image containing ;; the required grub modules so GRUB can cryptomount and read LVs.

%base-user-accounts))) ```I ran `guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm` and then it `Unrecognized keyword: #:helper-packages`. If I use `extra-packages` it will be `Unrecognized keyword: #:extra-packages`. If I remove entire `(initrd (...))` entry, the `guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm` will succeed but GRUB will fail with wrong prefix. I could manually set the correct prefix using `(hd0,gpt2)` and `insmod normal` but this is not stable as the `0` of `hd0` will change. Also after entering GRUB and entering the LUKS password during the initramfs, it will fail with:
```e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/alaric-group/alaric-root
Possibly non-existent device? File system check on /dev/alaric-group/alaric-root failed Spawning Bourne-like REPL. ```I could see `/dev/mapper/alaric-crypt` exists, but neither the LVM logical volumes nor the LVM volume group exist.
After consulting in the IRC channel, I changed my configuration to this: ``` (use-modules (gnu) (gnu packages linux) (gnu packages cryptsetup) (gnu services desktop) (gnu services ssh) (gnu system) (gnu system linux-initrd) (guix) (guix packages) (guix gexp) (srfi srfi-1) (ice-9 regex)) (use-package-modules emacs librewolf tor-browsers wget text-editors toys games fcitx5 fonts shells)(define font-packages (fold-packages (lambda (pkg acc) (if (string-match "^font-" (package-name pkg))

%base-user-accounts))) ``` `guix system init` succeeded but then resulted in two new problems:1. It said `/mnt/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod` does not found. The scm specified a wrong prefix. I need to manually specify the correct prefix and `insmod normal` to boot. 2. After booting and entering the LUKS password, it kept popping `Waiting for /dev/alaric-group/alaric-root` and then stuck in the early Guile.
I shall be grateful if someone can help to get my Guix System boot and running.
Sincerely, Rebel
