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 > [-- Attachment #2: Type: text/html, Size: 1033 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

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.
