Yes: I=E2=80=99m now booting from the live-USB Stick of Guix, so grub might=
 not
detect that this is a UEFI system.

I don=E2=80=99t know why it stopped booting. After a pull + system reconfig=
ure
on 30th of March, the bios did not see my system disk as bootable
anymore =E2=80=94 but this could also be due to problems in the disk, so I=
=E2=80=99m not
sure that it=E2=80=99s due to Guix.

Best wishes,
Arne
