Hello,
I've tried to install an encrypted GuixSD 64-bit on 2 different
computers, and both times, the graphical install couldn't install the
bootloader. In Qemu and on 32-bit, the bootloader installed fine. I
don't know how to fix. There's an efi directory on the flashdrive, so I
don't know what's going wrong. I have rebooted, decrypted and mounted my
partition, turned on the swap file, set the cow-store to /mnt, and
restarted the system init, and it looks like it's downloading the
packages, again.

Did you also mount your EFI System Partition on /mnt/boot/efi?

Ok, I tried running that grub-install command manually, making the
--efi-directory /mnt/boot/efi, but I got the same error. Then, I made an
efi directory in /mnt/boot, and grub-install replied something like,
"That doesn't look like an EFI partition!" Next, I decided not to make
an EFI partition and to change my config to grub-bootloader with target
"/dev/sda", and I ran the system init. Guix built a few derivations and
slowly copied a massive number of files to /mnt. Finally, it said the
bootloader was successfully installed. That worked, but I had to disable
UEFI boot and enable "legacy" boot in the BIOS.

Thanks, is that /dev/sda? I only saw /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. Maybe I
should make an EFI partion during the graphical installation.

Your UEFI system won't boot without one (unless you switch to
old-cruft-compatibility-mode or ‘CSM’ in your machine's set-up)
and GRUB won't install without one. So yes!
How to create, format, and mount such a partition is explained in
the ‘Disk Partitioning’ section of the ‘Keyboard Layout and
Networking and Partitioning’ chapter of the manual. A few tens of
megabytes will be more than you'll ever need.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the graphical installer.

If this is fine for you, keep it.

If you would like to continue tinkering with UEFI, try invoking
GRUB with --efi-directory /boot/efi (without changing anything
else). However, Guix already invokes the ‘correct’ command so
there's likely something else not quite right.
