Lukas,
Wow, when it fails that early in the process, there is not that much to go
on. Have you tried booting other other (non-Guix) media. It would be
interesting to know if other live media (e.g.
https://wiki.parabola.nu/Get_Parabola ) works for you.
How are you loading Guix unto your boot media? It might be interesting to
try a CD or USB if you've only tried one so far.
This might be getting ahead of ourselves, but even if you can't get the
Guix installer to boot, you may still be able to get Guix installed on
your computer. Options are to connect the disk to a different computer and
use Guix (potentially installed on a foreign distro) there to do the
installation on the disk, and move it to the target computer once
installed. I had to do this recently for a host that would not boot from
external media. A variation on this theme would be to install use the Guix
binary distribution on different live media that you are able to boot.
Also, if you hava way to do it, updating to the latest version of your
UEFI code might be a good idea.
What computer and UEFI are you using?
Best,
Jack
