Starting from a fresh install of Manjaro Linux, with emacs version:

on the develop branch at commit 78b4c6c5df62a4c5a4e266b12b8da718739a8d72 when trying to install doom for the first time I get:

[deech]

Turns out this happens if you don't do bin/doom install first. I'll leave this open in case you want to add this to the docs.

[RodrigoLeiteF]

This is happening on doom install for me.

[BurritoZz]

Same situation for me.
Re-running doom install or running doom sync also leads to the wrong type argument.

[fthalabi]

same error with a fresh install.

I'm fairly certain 2c2a4c5 will fix that hash-table-p issue. Please update and let me know if that isn't the case.

[LoveSponge]

Also receiving the error for doom install.

UPDATE :
Git pull for @hlissner update for core/core-modules.el did not fix =(

Here is the output for doom install:

_ps, is there a way I can make these massive blocks of output collapsible in github md?_

I'm also running into this while trying to do a fresh install. I'm on GNU Emacs 26.3

Finally narrowed down the issue. 519a402 should resolve it. Please update and let me know if that isn't the case.

[yasushisakai]

Confirming 519a402f62d9715f66c9c074a5031def1fba1cd2 works. Was trying to bisect from my end but discovered you lacking sleep... Thank you very much for this and every effort you put into this, it is incredible.
