I wasn't able to install guix on hardware on a GPT partitioned drive. First I
thought it was because I deleted sdc6 and remade it, but after rebooting got
the same error. I use dd to copy the iso image to a thumb drive and boot from
it in UEFI, then go through the installer which fails at the partitioning step.
the other partitions sdc3-sdc5 have linux installs already. Tried to put it on
sdc6 and put mount point /
Here is the backtrace. Is there anything I can do to investigate further and
install guix?
