boot guixsd

[Rene]

Hello,

I'm reviewing how GNU GuixSD/Linux boot,

$ cat /proc/cmdline

BOOT_IMAGE=/gnu/store/jnww66749r8ck6l2rwgvpzzbnazs0392-linux-libre-4.15.5/bzImage --root=root --system=/gnu/store/qcia33hqzi6md3q18frs16piis6xxy9i-system --load=/gnu/store/qcia33hqzi6md3q18frs16piis6xxy9i-system/boot

To perform the activation is done as a parameter through the scheme file '/var/guix/profiles/system/boot'.

In GNU Hurd as a workaround I add the lines to the '/libexec/rc' file:

--

echo running GuixSD boot ..

guile -s /var/guix/profiles/system/boot

--

After loading GNU Mach and GNU Hurd it shows:

--

In unknown file:

             ?: 9 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 1a3920>]  

          In ice-9/boot-9.scm:                                       

            66: 8 [call-with-prompt prompt0 ...]

          n.scm:

          In unknown file:

             ?: 0 [symlink #f "/run/current-system.new"]

          ERROR: In procedure symlink:

          ERROR: Wrong type (expecting string): #f

I have the following questions:

a) In GNU Hurd, how should activation be done?

b) Regarding the error assuming that I start reading from the bottom up 'ERROR: In procedure symlink',

    in GNU Hurd I guess I should try 'symlink' through guile to see if the procedure exists.

Some thoughts?

Thank you

Rene
