Thanks for the suggestion. I tested with the following:
```
(define-values (rz/linux rz/linux-kernel-modules)
(let* ((channels
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
(commit "d37b467631d5b0e965ea933b8bda8448993580e9"))))
(inferior (inferior-for-channels channels))
(kernel-version "6.1.15"))
(values (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "linux-libre"
kernel-version))
(list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior
"v4l2loopback-linux-module"))))))
(operating-system
...
(kernel rz/linux)
(kernel-loadable-modules rz/linux-kernel-modules)
...)
```
But I receive a different error now:
```
running profile hook of type 'linux-module-database'...
Backtrace:
1 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/7ha0kn8fz8yfi26m3m8997wlc8m?")
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
2007:7 0 (error _ . _)
ice-9/boot-9.scm:2007:7: In procedure error:
Specified Linux kernel and Linux kernel modules are not all of the same version
```
However, if I use the most recent kernel version available in the
inferior...
```
(define-values (rz/linux rz/linux-kernel-modules)
(let* ((channels
(list (channel
(name 'guix)
(url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
(commit "d37b467631d5b0e965ea933b8bda8448993580e9"))))
(inferior (inferior-for-channels channels))
(kernel-version "6.2.2"))
(values (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior "linux-libre"))
(list (first (lookup-inferior-packages inferior
"v4l2loopback-linux-module"))))))
```
It actually works! So it seems that the problem is specifically with
using kernel modules with a kernel version other than the latest
linux-libre kernel from an inferior. I also tried using a specific
kernel version without an inferior like so:
```
(operating-system
...
(kernel (specification->package "linux-libre@6.1.15"))
(kernel-loadable-modules (list
(specification->package"v4l2loopback-linux-module")))
...)
```
And that works as well.
TL;DR: The issue has been narrowed down to using kernel modules with a
kernel from an inferior besides the latest kernel from that inferior.
