It worked. I=E2=80=99m still a bit unbelieving. I booted with CSM (compatib=
ility
mode) disabled, then ran guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm and
after the next reboot I could boot without the boot f=CC=B6l=CC=B6o=CC=B6p=
=CC=B6p=CC=B6y=CC=B6 USB stick.

Thank you very, very much!

Now I=E2=80=99ll just have to figure out what I do with my new M2-spare :-)

Best wishes,
Arne
