The installation device is not detected by the non-install-devices procedure, as it often happens. Hence, the create-special-user-partitions finds two ESP partitions. The one on your main hard drive and the one on the installation ISO. Reading the UUID of the ESP partition of the installation ISO returns false, not sure why, but this is not the central issue. I improved the install device detection with 154a4e046281c28e39b5016e965d3d937a2ea4a1 by removing the device with the default Guix System image ISO label. This is quite fragile and if someone has a better idea, please feel free to share it :). In the meantime, it should completely fix your issue. Thanks a lot for your help, Mathieu
