Now, I haven’t tested this in reality and would appreciate help here.


I’m in the process of implementing automated tests for the installation
process.


I've been looking at this bug, as I've got a new laptop which I would 
like to install GuixSD on, and I would like to use an encrypted root 
partition.


Regarding the system tests, it looks to me like they do exist now, but 
so far I've been unable to run them (I get an error related to hash 
mismatch of module-import-compiled, I want to try getting it to 
fallback, but first I need to work out where Guix is being invoked...).

I definitely don’t experience that on my laptop (not an X200).  Perhaps
the KMS module and Xorg driver is at fault?  Which ones are in use?

(My laptop has an Intel graphics card, so i915.ko, though for some
reason Xorg uses xf86-video-intel instead of “modesetting”.)
