I did guix system reconfigure config.scm then reboot.
No login prompt and no display manager.

I installed GuixSD again from DVD using same config.scm then reboot. But
same result.

You have (services %desktop-services) in your configuration file, which
includes the display manager slim, which should start automatically.
You should also have login prompts on the other TTYs (use
Ctrl-Alt-F1/2/3/4 to access them).

Do you see anything at all there?

No, nothing.

I confirmed slim was installed but not started and  I couldn't change TTY
by Ctrl-Alt-F1/2/3/4.

Do you see anything at all when Linux-libre is booting?  There should be
messages on TTY 1.

reinstalled guixsd with same config.scm, at this time I did mkfs.ext4 -L
my-root=/dev/sda1, then shepherd started and showed many failing messages,
no display slim login screen, couldn't change TTYs.

Excuse my broken English.

The cause is comment out and swap-devices is solution.

Does this mean you solved the problem and that your swap-code above was 
the cause?

If yes, congratulations, I think you should report a bug with your 
findings so we can implement a check for this during reconfigure and 
point the user to defining swap properly.

Hello,
(device "/dev/sda2") is cause of this issue.
