Hi Josselin, Josselin Poiret via Bug reports for GNU Guix 写道： Ventoy is not supported currently. It is up to them to add support for Guix, not the other way around: we have some peculiarities with the boot process that Ventoy completely ignores. Ah. This is true of most dime-a-dozen ‘universal’ ISO booters, which merely source a GRUB .cfg and expect distributions to do all the work. I'd shame them by name if they were memorable. Guix indeed doesn't ‘support’ that! Ventoy actually put some thought & effort into the process. Like all clever hacks, there's some dependence on moon phase and luck, but it's not snake oil. It injects some code into the boot process to expose the ISO file as a block device through Linux's device mapper. Any distribution with dm-mod support, including Guix[0] (through dm-crypt), will see a ‘real’ block device straight from the kernel. No distro cooperation is required beyond ‘please don't be too clever and peek behind the curtain’. IME, Guix does not do so, and just works. (So why does it fail here…?)

Hi Panos, Guix and Ventoy should work out of the box. Panos Alevropoulos via Bug reports for GNU Guix 写道： It seems that I can't install Guix 1.3.0 with Ventoy. After starting installation from Guix GRUB, I get kernel panic. Thanks for including the exact panic message. That's very helpful. It's odd: Guix is trying to compile /ventoy/init as a SCM file. - What is the sha256sum of the 1.3.0 ISO image you used? - Could you try the ‘latest’[0] ISO and report the result?

It is up to them to add support for Guix, not the other way around: we have some peculiarities with the boot process that Ventoy completely ignores. By the way, you should try using the latest installer image instead of 1.3.0, as a lot of bugs have been fixed since then. Best, -- Josselin Poiret
