Happy to help! :)

I've removed the custom initrd and define %linux-modules from my config,
and done:
sudo -i guix pull
sudo -i guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

Then rebooted. All ok!

[PATCH] Full encryption

[Petter]

To run a fully encrypted GuixSD, Mark and Ludo dictated the following changes for me. And i'm now only using one partition (which includes root and boot).

Thank you & Mark for testing and debugging this!

Commit cc0e575 and 07779d0 incorporate your suggestions.  Let me know if
everything is still fine after ‘guix system reconfigure’ (and you can
now remove the custom initrd from your OS config.)
