Perhaps the linux-libre kernel doesn’t ship with some certain needed proprietary firmware…actually I’m reading online on several places (online) that this is a problem with mode setting the radeon driver. If I change the grub command line to disable modesetting, then I may be able to boot properly. The problem is that I don’t see grub anywhere in my boot process.
There is a brief (5s?) window just after booting the USB where the GRUB
menu is shown with a GuixSD background, before Linux-Libre boots. You
can press 'e' there to add command-line arguments for the kernel.
If adding 'nomodeset' works, maybe we should do that by default. Kernel
mode-setting is arguably not that important for the install media.
