GuixSD stops on booting process after upgrades

GuixSD stops on booting process after upgrades

Hello! I cannot give you exact info. The description of a problem I usually meet  is this.

After guix has updated kernel with `guix pull` or `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` and I reboot. Boot up process stops with no any errors on any line without matter. Not every update this occurs, but sometimes.
So I reboot and it goes ok. Today I rebooted three times before it started to boot properly. I think my new usb bluetooth mouse was the reason, cause guix stopped after line 'usb mouse detected'.  I've just unplagged it some new line occurs about mouse was disconnected, and I reboot. And guixsd booted ok.

Please, is this a kind of initialization process after kernel update and need just to wait? Or is it a bug?

Hello!  Thanks for reporting the issue!  Usually when you report a bug,
you want to give a little more information:

What kind of computer do you have?  What kind of processor?  What is the
output of "guix --version"?

Hmmm, perhaps an easy fix is to use a regular mouse that has a cord.
I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but it may be the simplest
solution.

There might be a way to mention what kernel modules you need to have
loaded...But I'm really not certain how to fix this.

This might be a problem with the kernel.  Could you try a different
kernel version?
