Hi Harm,  Thanks for the info.  I thought there were problems with 
having guile1 and guile2.x installed at the same time?  Or is that just 
if you're relying on package managers?

I cloned my working LilyDev4 virtual machine and upgraded it to debian9. 
The upgrade went fine, but trying to boot into it... same black screen 
forever after grub screen and 'loading initial ramdisk'...

But, using the advanced options on the grub screen I can select Linux 
3.16... (instead of 4.9.0...) and it successfully boots. So that's 
progress. :-)  Next step is to install guile2.2

Cheers,
