What is the error message then about?

I started the image with
  qemu-system-x86_64  -drive 
media=disk,file=dk1cc2q05zcw6rbc8l8vm7d6zb9rw771-image.qcow2 -m 1.5G 
-bios /usr/share/ovmf/x64/OVMF.fd -smp 3 -nic 
user,model=virtio-net-pci,hostfwd=tcp::2224-:22 -enable-kvm

After changing the resolution of the console, it does not continue the 
boot process.

Somehow I missed the last closing braces.

I used
    guix 73b5c95
      Repository-URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
      Branch: master
      Commit: 73b5c955ae46af2548625fe31afe60193fb83e2a

to run
$ guix system image -t qcow2 min.swap.scm
/gnu/store/dk1cc2q05zcw6rbc8l8vm7d6zb9rw771-image.qcow2
