I'm trying to install Guix SD with Grub on UEFI and my stuck in this error:

I tried to follow what I found in the Reference Manual. Also, I tried to
set *(device "/dev/sda")* in *grub-configuration* but no luck. Can someone
give me some light? Thanks in advance

Here's the culprit:

The bootloader code was overhauled after Guix 0.13. The syntax is now:

  (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
               (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
               (target "/boot/efi"))) ; usually correct, but verify

It seems you're consulting an outdated manual that doesn't match the
version of Guix you're invoking to reconfigure your system.

Kind regards,

I have just checked the info page and the old configuration is still there.

Hm, not here. Or I'm not searching for the same thing you mean.

Could your share the offending section and snippet?

Kind regards,
