Could you check if editing the boot options in GRUB to modprobe.blacklist=amdgpu makes nomodeset unnecessary? Then modprobe.blacklist=radeon,amdgpu could be added to gnu/system/install.scm. Other than that, I believe the installer would eventually have shown up with nomodeset and I believe uvesafb makes the graphics work on any x86_64 or x86 machine, so no save-graphics GRUB entry is needed. But maybe I’m wrong and uvesafb isn’t a panacea. > I have no idea how long the GUI is expected to take to show up, maybe > it would have appeared if I just waited even more, but there was no > indication of anything happening. It takes some time on my old laptop, but it is an old laptop. All that aside, I believe uvesafb-service-type or kernel-module-loader-service-type can be added to any config.scm to show i3 or any desktop environment using software rendering. It just consumes much CPU. The installer could add it to the config.scm automatically, however it may not be what the user wants and it seems there is no way to auto-detect the appropriate resolution (v86d has a resolution checker, but it maybe cannot be run early in the boot).
