Greetings,

I just installed Guix and the installed system won't boot.

I've looked for solutions to this issue online. Some people recommend 
just turning on/off CSM in the UEFI settings. Others suggest using 
efibootmgr to create a new entry for the OS. I've done both, and have 
had no luck.

Also, it would be nice if Guix System had efibootmgr. I had to boot 
another distro to get it.

Notice how the Fedora entry (which works) looks the same as the Guix 
entry, and how I tried pointing it to the right EFI file: 
/dev/sda1:/EFI/Guix/grubx64.efi. Nevertheless, Guix does not boot.

I installed Guix using the wizard. I used disk encryption.

I also tried booting the installed system manually, from the installer's 
copy of GRUB (pressing "c" before the system boots). When I did 
"cryptomount -a" at the GRUB prompt, no password prompt was given. It 
just said "unknown filesystem" and I could not access the encrypted 
partition. The EFI partition was accessible, but there was no kernel to 
point to, so I could not boot the system by typing in GRUB commands.

I hope this has been enough information. Please tell me if there is 
anything else I can do to help.

Good night.
