The radeon driver requires nonfree firmware. This is the core issue
which is not going to get fixed anytime soon. There appear to be

I wrote guixsd-install-0.16.0.x86_64-linux.iso to my USB drive and
mounted it. I am trying to make the boot not get stuck.
I replaced efi/boot/bootx64.efi by Debian’s bootx64.efi. Still stuck.
I deleted efi/boot/bootx64.efi. Still stuck.
I changed the EFI partition’s GPT type code with gdisk
This is interesting. I presume if you add modprobe.blacklist=radeon
to the kernel commandline, your system is degraded, e.g. the
resolution is lower? The installer probably would have a lower
resolution, too, when booting it with modprobe.blacklist=radeon? Or
maybe the radeon kernel module is no

I got a mail from a bystander, Ady Ady whom i know from SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX
mailing list. He proposes the experiment to exchange the whole EFI partition
of the Guix ISO by the one
Hi,
i now look at the FAT filesystem images of Debian Live 9 and Guix 0.16.0:

Hi,
... and if the erasure of the partition table entry helps, would it then
also help if that entry's partition does not start at LBA 0 ?
Change bytes 446 (dec) to 461 (dec) from (in hex):
80 00 01 00 01 01 12 4f 00 00 00 00 40 0b 00 00

Dear Guix
As I'm still in the process of setting up my environment,
I am not (yet) able to write and submit a patch for package `direnv`,
so I'm sending this report instead…
As mentioned on the `direnv` homepage, "direnv is compiled into
a single static executable" [1]. As I understand it, this m

Of course i meant of=/dev/sdc2
The 16 bytes written to /dev/sdc1 would deface the GPT's "protective" MBR
and thus make the
It works, see end of this e-mail.

I can copy the same fatfs.img from Guix System 0.16.0 onto a current
Guix git master installer iso and it works too.

It uses mkfs.fat for creating FAT partitions, but maybe this
particular EFI partition is created by grub-mkrescue?

So it is indeed the filesystem hull, which is to blame.
We still need to find out whether the partition entry is the culprit.
So please do the experiment with
