Before I thanked to Ludovic for its answer, but when I am in the 
smartphone and I reply to a list, sometimes I reply to the user and not 
the list, silly mistakes hehe. What I replyed to Ludovic was:

    Hi Ludovic!
    Thank you for your answer. If am not wrong, yes, I installed in a
    UEFI machine. I use the configuration file copied as in the
    instructions of GuixSD said.

    I have thought that the problem could be related with the partition
    for boot, maybe I did something wrong in that step.

    Now I don't get any error, simply I can't access. Thia afternoon I
    am going to try again and if it happens again, I will write the
    error to share with you.

    Regards, Iván


Hi Oleg, thank you for your answer. The configuration file that I use in 
the process of installation of GuixSD was the file desktop.scm in 
/etc/configuration. I copied that with (as here 
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Proceeding-with-the-Installation.html#Proceeding-with-the-Installation>):

cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm

I think that I made something wrong when I have to create the partition 
to the grub. As a note, it is my first time installing an operative 
system via terminal. I have been user of Ubuntu and now I am user of 
Debian, but I want to test GuixSD, I am thinking in a possible 
migration. Maybe the error was mine. Tonight I am going to try again the 
installation.

Thanks to both!

Regards, Iván
