The header -| Locale language |- is invisible. The bottom of the window with ----------------- is the last visible line.

I just installed anew. Right after =E2=80=9Cbootloader successfull= y installed on '/boot/efi'=E2=80=9D, a bash prompt is shown and accepts inp= ut: bash-4.4# > Were there any hints in /var/log/messages or tty12? >=20 The last messages in tty12 as well as in /var/log/messages are Apr 19 13:11:18 localhost shepherd[1]: Service cow-store has been started= . Apr 19 13:25:51 localhost connmand[483]: ntp: adjust (slew): -0.014120 se= c so presumably the only thing that was logged after installation started is a boring NTP adjust. An approximate transcription of what pstree shows: | |-kmscon---8kj92lqap405nfs---9xd24lv3gpp5qgh---bash---pstree | | \-9*[{9xd24lv3gpp5qgh}] | \-7&[{8kj92lqap405nfs}] According to ps output, 8kj is installer and 9xd is installer-real. I do not know how to attach to 9xd with gdb. Either way, once I quit bash I get an -| Installation complete |- message. > > Then the installed system has no graphics too (graphics freeze at the > > same message > > > > [ 51.910992] fb0: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA > > > > but I cannot add modprobe.blacklist=3Dradeon because GRUB does not > > recognize my USB keyboard now (in the installer=E2=80=99s GRUB the US= B > > keyboard was recognized). >=20 > Weird.

This machine boots Guix git master fine, the ISO 9p cache issue is fixed, other issues with booting on my Macbook are not an issue on this machine. Regards, Florian
