Dear Guix Community,

I am writing to report an issue that I encountered while updating my GNU Guix System Distribution. I was able to successfully install it on my laptop, but when I ran "guix pull" and "guix system reconfigure", the updating process failed to install the bootloader on my ESP partition. As a result, when I rebooted my laptop, I couldn't boot normally to my GNU Guix System and no GRUB bootloader was found.

I tried to create a new USB stick for the installation of GNU Guix, and the installation proceeded well except for the last step which was the installation of the bootloader. I received a message about efibootmgr. Eventually, I switched to the installation of my NixOS Linux and successfully installed it on my HP laptop from which I am reporting this issue to the Guix community.

I would like to know if there is a stable branch for Guix in the same way as there is a stable branch of NixOS Linux. Also, I would appreciate any help or guidance on how to solve the above issue.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

- --
