Yes: I’m now booting from the live-USB Stick of Guix, so grub might not
detect that this is a UEFI system.
I don’t know why it stopped booting. After a pull + system reconfigure
on 30th of March, the bios did not see my system disk as bootable
anymore — but this could also be due to problems in the disk, so I’m not
sure that it’s due to Guix.
Best wishes,
Arne
