From b36e06c2b0889f1d0f939465589d36887ff24d33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christopher Baines Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2017 09:52:24 +0100 Subject: linux-initrd: Ensure that the guile used in the initrd is referenced. By referencing guile from the initrd output explicitly, it will be present in the store when this initrd is used. If the exact guile used within the initrd isn't present in the store, then after root is switched during the boot process, loading modules (such as (ice-9 popen)) won't work. This fixes guix-patches bug #28399, "Fix mysql activation, and add a basic test". * gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd)[builder]: Write out a file called references in to the initrd output, which includes the store path for guile. --- gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm | 13 +++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+) (limited to 'gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm') diff --git a/gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm b/gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm index 5a7aec5c87..969a89266c 100644 --- a/gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm +++ b/gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm @@ -78,6 +78,19 @@ the derivations referenced by EXP are automatically copied to the initrd."
