As I understand it, Thomas’ work is about
- making a correct ISO image and
- making it work on more machines.
I would have hoped the 1.0 ISO could already be made correct.
Older ISOs work on cooperative motherboards as well though, it appears
only old Macs are affected. A more recent 2014 Macbook Air boots fine
though.
As for the latter, here are my findings when booting the USB
installer:

|---------------------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------|
| x86_64 | boots with UEFI | boots but graphical installer |

|---------------------+--------------------+---------------------|
I wonder why guixsd-install-0.15.0.i686-linux.iso did not boot on the
Lenovo Ideapad 100S before. Windows claims the Lenovo is a 32-bit
machine only btw.

Florian
