(initrd-modules (append (list "mmc_block" "sdhci_acpi") %base-initrd-modules))) #+end_example This computer has an eMMC disk, so this sounds reasonable. I made that modification and the installation process succeeded. But when I boot the computer, it complained that "sdhci_acpi" could not be found. After spending hours digging around, I finally found out that the required module name is actuall called "sdhci-acpi" rather than "sdhci_acpi". The computer can successfully boot into Guix when I replace "sdhci_acpi" with "sdhci-acpi" and reinstall Guix. So the problem is that the Guix installer recommends wrong initrd module names to user. -- Meiyo Peng https://www.pengmeiyu.com/
