I did not fiddle with those directory. I only removed them to reinstall
guix.

I did it, for the third time. I always get the same error:
guix system: error: build failed: path
`/gnu/store/kv217jzyir2wx0lwwxl7ljpwc4fzafpi-grub.cfg' is not valid
This time I used guix 0.8.3.

I tried removing that line, but if I do I get an error saying "missing
field initializers (bootloader)".
So I also tried to specify a non existent disk (i.e. /dev/sdb), so it
does not complain about the bootloader options, but I still get the
"path 'grub.cfg' is not valid" error.
