Hello,

Reg <reg@disroot.org> skribis:

> Guix won't boot on my ThinkPad T430 after an installation with fully encrypted disk:
>
> * First, at the end of the installation, I'm getting the following error message multiple times: "device-mapper: remove ioctl on cryptroot failed: Device or resource busy"

These messages are annoying but really harmless.

> * On boot, I am being prompted for the encryption key. So far so good. The Grub menu is then displayed and disappears after a few seconds – as it should – after which the computer is stuck on the Grub

Weird.

Does your compute have an AMD graphics card that could lead the kernel
(KMS) to wreck havoc during initialization?

Did you have hardware-related problems with other free GNU/Linux distros
on this machine before?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
