`guix pull` fails on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-eMMC

Dear Guix,

I decided to try to install Guix System on my A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-eMMC.

I used the latest Armbian as a base system. I APT-installed Guix and

tried to `guix pull`, but it failed with the following message:

```shell

$ guix pull

From the backtrace, I cannot figure out what went wrong! Any idea?

Hi,

Does it also fails with 'guix pull -M 1 -c 1' ?

Denis.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for your answer.

Strange thing, though… I didn't received your answer!?

I came across it by chance while checking

[bug-guix](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix).

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, I get the same kind of error:

I'll try on a brand new SD card, because the one I used is a bit old.

Any other ideas about what might have gone wrong?

The command I gave sometimes works on 32bit machines with a low

amount of RAM, so it was worth trying.

Unfortunately here I'm out of ideas, other people with more experience

in Guix might know better.

Also note that I also do have an A20-OlinuXino-LIME2-eMMC, so I might

be able to run tests too if they are fast to do. Maybe I should try to

cross compile a rootfs and see if it boots.

Long time ago it booted if I recall well, and then it stopped working

but I didn't take the time to track the regression down or to try again.

Good to know.

I don't actually need Guix System on my SBC, but you know, I have it on

my computer @work, @home, on my laptop… so I thought to myself that it

would make more sense to have it everywhere!

Today my computers, tomorrow the world! ?

I've tried to cross compile an image but I end up with this build

failure:

Though I don't know if it is related or not to your issue.

Denis.

Hi,

I've found an idea: guix pull can pull to a precise commit:

So maybe it works with a commit close to Guix 1.3. If that's the case

we can probably bisect it to the commit that broke your guix pull.

Denis.

Sounds like a good idea! I'll try that later today and let you know!

Hi,

I bought a brand new "microSDHC UHS-1 A1" card and re-installed the

latest Armbian on it, and… I couldn't even test your idea, for `guix pull`

now fails with the following error message:

```

root@lime2:~# guix pull

Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'...

guix pull: error: Git error: error inflating zlib stream

```

I tried again, but… it failed again! ?

… so I tried with [the binary install](https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Binary-Installation.html)

of Guix, but it fails to install Guix, for the `/tmp` directory on Armbian

is too small! ?

I thought installing Guix System on my Lime would be less… frustrating!

I think I'll redirect my energy to other tasks for the time being…

Any way, thanks for your time and help!

Hi Simon,

Thanks for diging this one out!

As I mentioned: "I think I'll redirect my energy to other tasks for the time being…"

That’s exactly what I did!… and forgot to close the bug! ?

Should I just do that?
