bug#57983: Error installing on a Framework Laptop

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hello Dan,

Thanks a lot for the bug report.

> The dump was uploaded as installer-dump-11a1087c.

As you are the first one reporting an installer bug using the new dump
mechanism, a small precision:

the dump can be downloaded this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mathieu@meije ~$ wget -qO- dump.guix.gnu.org/download/installer-dump-11a1087c |

It looks like the issue is:

This is an unfixed bug reported here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56005

Then the final phase is retried and fails this way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Sep 21 05:57:10 localhost vmunix: [ 1295.546730] /dev/mapper/cryptroot: Can't

Sep 21 05:57:10 localhost installer[426]: mounting "/dev/mapper/cryptroot" on 
"/mnt/" 
Sep 21 05:57:10 localhost installer[426]: crashing due to uncaught exception: 
system-error ("mount" "mount ~S on ~S: ~A" ("/dev/mapper/cryptroot" "/mnt/" "No 
such file or directory") (2)) 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The first issue is most likely transient and you might have better luck
just by retrying. In the meantime I'll try to understand why the final
phase retry fails.

Thanks,

Mathieu
