Hi Marius, This is quite old. Happy camper on GuixSD these days! :) I haven't tested 1.0.1 ISOs but 1.0.1 runs fine. I think the bug can be closed.

bug#30751: Fw: [Issue] GuixSD won't boot in UEFI mode
Hi, thank you for the report! This is definitely a problem. It seems that the Linux kernel already started up so this is not a bootloader problem but rather a problem with the Linux kernel. There have been lots and LOTS of amdgpudrmfb changes in the Linux kernel lately - but our GuixSD release is pretty old. There should be a new release soon - the 0.14.0 release is from Dec 2017 and the Linux kernel from back then had some problem modesetting AMD cards. See also https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/211260/grub-2-error-fb-switching-to-radeondrmfb-from-efi-vga As a workaround, (1) Wait until the grub menu shows up (2) Press e (3) Go to the end of the line which says "linux" (4) Add a space (5) Add nomodeset (6) Press F10 pgpLr8heKZ5p1.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi, I have an issue with guixSD installation. I tried to install GuixSD 0.14 x86_64 on my machine. The installation media didn't boot in the uefi mode which is to say the startup messages showed this is the error message: "fb: switching to amdgpudrmfb from EFI VGA" So i couldn't get any futher. But surprisingly the bios mode booted fine. I have an AMD Ryzen 1600 CPU, RX580 GPU and 8 GBs of RAM. https://gist.github.com/radamar/c98765c27ba318f6be087941da6a8e96 I would like to run guixSD on my main computer. thanks, amar >
