configuration will produce.
* gnu/system.scm (): Compute default operating systems
initrd modules with 'base-initrd-modules'.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (default-initrd-modules): Remove in favor of
'base-initrd-modules' which takes a mandatory kernel argument from which to
extract the initrd-modules from the package properties.

images: wsl2: Make the dummy bootloader configuration lowerable.

2026-08-24T01:14:04+00:00

"guix system reconfigure" lowers the bootloader configuration
and then calls 'derivation->output-path' on the result.  A 'plain-file'
lowers to a store file name rather than to a derivation,
so reconfiguring a WSL2 system fails with "Wrong type argument
in position 1 (expecting struct)".  Use 'computed-file',
which lowers to a derivation.

* gnu/system/images/wsl2.scm (dummy-bootloader)
  [configuration-file-generator]: Return a 'computed-file'
  instead of a 'plain-file'.

images: wsl2: Do not point the dummy bootloader at /dev/null.

2026-08-24T01:12:54+00:00

Installing a bootloader configuration replaces the file
it is written to.  On WSL2 that file is /dev/null,
so "guix system reconfigure" replaces the character device
with a read-only regular file: afterwards every write to /dev/null
fails with EACCES for non-root users, and programs that create it
when missing turn it into a plain file that accumulates
whatever was meant to be discarded.

* gnu/system/images/wsl2.scm (dummy-bootloader)[configuration-file]:
  Use "/var/lib/wsl-bootloader.cfg" instead of "/dev/null".

system: images: rock-4c-plus: remove duplicated serial port service.

2026-05-24T23:14:16+00:00

Without this change, the rock-4c-plus boots fine and we can see the serial
port output is fine, but only part of what is typed through the serial port
reaches the console. This makes it very difficult to type commands.

And with this change, the serial port is already activated automatically and
in that case we can interact well with the console.

* gnu/system/images/rock-4c-plus.scm (rock-4c-plus-barebones-os):
  remove serial port service.

file-systems: file-system-needed-for-boot?: Include more mount points.

2026-05-24T15:05:34+00:00

This is useful when separating rootfs into many mount points, especially for
mounting tmpfs as /.  Mount points in this change are found and tested by
booting from a clean rootfs with such setup.

* gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system-needed-for-boot?): Mark /etc,
/var/lib and /var/log as needed for boot.
