guix system vm Failed to install GRUB (EFI) |

Hello Guix,
EFI bootloader configuration causes problems to test with 'system vm'
before 'reconfigure'.
To reproduce it replace default bootloader expression with following
snippet in gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
(target "/boot/efi")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Pushed as 9b396c0cabb086746cbe4ec20d4ae0d79962d758 (along with the
missing #:use-module clause that Oleg reported.)
I’m closing this bug. We can create a new issue when we add support for
UEFI in VMs.

This is expected: there’s no partition with that label in the VM.
You have to comment out the ‘file-system’ declaration because it doesn’t
make sense inside the VM. Perhaps ‘virtualized-operating-system’ could
do it automatically as well, not sure.
HTH,
