Then I tried to boot Guix, but found that GRUB is broken and the GRUB rescue prompt appeared. I thought that it's because of the 100 GB empty space in my hard disk. Fortunately, I have Ubuntu (yet another nonfree distribution) installed and it didn't broke, so used that to add that 100 GB to my Guix partition. But I found that GRUB is still broken. Then I appended "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" of Guix to the same file of Ubuntu and managed to boot into Guix and to write this mail you're reading now. Now, if I'm correct, to fix the problem, I think the bootloader needs to be reinstalled. To do that, I have to run "guix system reconfigure". But that will download too many thing, much more than it actually needs. I know that "guix system delete-generations" also reinstalls bootloader while not downloading too many things, however I don't have any previous system generation, so I can't use that trick to reinstall the GRUB. Is there any way to reinstall bootloader without the costly "guix system reconfigure"? Another non-important question: Why did Guix's GRUB broke while Ubuntu's GRUB survived? Thanks in advance.
