Yes, there are fewer lines. The line above “Choose the language” is the first visible line. The header -| Locale language |- is invisible. The bottom of the window with ----------------- is the last visible line. That makes for 31 lines in total. > > The installer got stuck in a bash prompt at the end (which is probably > > unrelated to AMD).

I just installed anew. Right after “bootloader successfully installed on '/boot/efi'”, a bash prompt is shown and accepts input: bash-4.4# > Were there any hints in /var/log/messages or tty12? > The last messages in tty12 as well as in /var/log/messages are Apr 19 13:11:18 localhost shepherd[1]: Service cow-store has been started. Apr 19 13:25:51 localhost connmand[483]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.014120 sec so presumably the only thing that was logged after installation started is a boring NTP adjust. An approximate transcription of what pstree shows: | |-kmscon---8kj92lqap405nfs---9xd24lv3gpp5qgh---bash---pstree | | \-9*[{9xd24lv3gpp5qgh}] | \-7&[{8kj92lqap405nfs}] According to ps output, 8kj is installer and 9xd is installer-real. I do not know how to attach to 9xd with gdb.

This machine boots Guix git master fine, the ISO 9p cache issue is fixed, other issues with booting on my Macbook are not an issue on this machine. Regards, Florian
