Hi,

With the commit right before c219c22cbd[1], my rockpro64 (ARM 64bit

SBC) boots fine and I get a login prompt both on the attached display

and serial port.

With c219c22cbd[1] instead it blocks here (see the attached boot.log

file for the full boot log):

I've attached the system.scm file I used for the test. It's being
reused by a machine configuration in another file (rockpro64.scm) and
I deploys the configuration with:

Hi Denis,

Apologies for the delay.

I believe this is due to this bug:

https://github.com/wingo/fibers/issues/89

How about this patch:

And here I tried without the patch, in a guix checkout built with make

and with the following command: './pre-inst-env guix deploy -L

rockpro64/ rockpro64/rockpro64.scm'.

I'm unsure of what is wrong with the kernel build, but since it's not

downloading substitutes for it, the issue is probably more general.

Denis.

If you're doing this on a non aarch64 system, you'll need to add

--system=aarch64-linux.

Hi again,

For some reasons I didn't receive your last mail.

In the machine definition I have (system "aarch64-linux"). I've now

also added -s aarch64-linux as well just to be safe.

As for the patch, it is now in Guix (4dd33fc628 gnu: shepherd: Switch

back to Fibers 1.1 on Arm machines.), and after bisecting the kernel

issue I had (I sent a bug report for that), I simply modified the system

definition to use linux-libre-lts instead.

I used this guix revision:

And it booted fine. Thanks a lot.

Denis.
