error: `no code for module nongnu packages linux`

Firstly I am at `sudo -E guix system reconfigure ~/.config/guix/system.scm` stage right after a `guix pull` I have been between articles `craft-your-system-with-guix/full-system-install/` and `guix/nonguix-installation-guide/` as I have been confused as to which one to follow.

I think there is even a third one on systemcrafters I was following. This is my second attempt, the first one pulled in the linux kernel and got very close, I had a working system on there untill one reboot where I was getting a brief black screen before being redirected to the gdm login.

This is now my seccond attempt but reconfigure complains with `no code for module nongnu packages linux` and this is where I am at now. I have the `channels.scm` copied to `~/.config/guix` as well as the `config.scm` copied as `system.scm`.

I copy pasted the environment variable and source instructions privided after the `guix pull` which provided an error i was able to solve doing the same from inside `su root` from which I exited back to my user.

Before attempting to reconfigure. I have seen this error mentioned here [https://forum.systemcrafters.net/t/help-with-guix-pull-and-guix-system-reconfigure/798](https://forum.systemcrafters.net/t/help-with-guix-pull-and-guix-system-reconfigure/798) as well its been mentioned on Reddit. I thing it has something to do with the channels and not being able to find the modules from the nonguix repository. I did unpin the channels by removing the commit lines refering to hashes. Note that the version of nonguix I am working with is [Guix Installer - 202412150202](https://github.com/SystemCrafters/guix-installer/releases/tag/v202412150202) as this was the earliest that included the iso.

Without a guix of my own to build the newer. From the one linked question in these forms relating to my problem, it seemed that ultimately there had been some sort of conflict from a removal of `linux-libre` which caused a chain of events to result in the error the OP was getting. Not sure if that is what is my situation or not.

As you can see I have done some research first to try to avoid repeating the same questions that may have been previously solved. I hope someone can direct me what I can do here to get the reconfigure done. And hopefully this time after reboot the system wont be broken. As last time it was fine , and then at some point entering my login details (I did … `tty` – `passwd`) at the gdm prompt, it would flash black then revert back to gdm. Please advice. Thank you.
