Hi

When I boot the GuixSD I get this :

" end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x00000000 "

I have downloaded this file : https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/
guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.13.0.x86_64-linux.xz
which is correctly downloaded for my system which has a 64bit cpu .
this is my system configuration file : http://paste.lisp.org/display/
349278#1
I installed GuixSD two times on the system . First time I got this warning
:

" warning: Sector 33 is already in use by the program `FlexNet'; avoiding
it. This software may cause boot or other problems in future. Please ask
its authors not to store data in the boot track. "

So i used this code : "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 seek=33"

And when I reinstalled the GuixSD I got no warning and no error .

do you have another machine where you could test the installation?
We’ve discussed this on IRC before and I ran out of ideas; it is not
impossible that this is a hardware problem of some kind.

Other ideas:

* What root file system do you use? Could it be something that is not
supported by our kernel?

* What kind of CPU do you use?

* Is there any more text in that kernel panic that might be interesting?

One more thing you could try is to use a different kernel version. In
your configuration you can change the “kernel” field, e.g. to

(kernel linux-libre-4.1)

Make sure to include this line at the top:

(use-package-modules linux)

With some luck this might get you further.
