The message above is telling that it=E2=80=99s trying to do a =E2=80=9CBIOS=
=E2=80=9D (as opposed
to EFI) install of GRUB, but you specified =E2=80=98grub-efi=E2=80=99, henc=
e the
failure.

Is your system really EFI?

Anyway, this issue is different from the original one, so perhaps we
should discuss it on help-guix?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
