Subject: Lenovo ThinkCentre: 1962 No Operating System Found

Message-ID: <f820714f-a515-a6f0-4901-f41704e65b97@bluehome.net> (raw)
Greetings,
I just installed Guix and the installed system won't boot.
I've looked for solutions to this issue online. Some people recommend
just turning on/off CSM in the UEFI settings. Others suggest using
efibootmgr to create a new entry for the OS. I've done both, and have
had no luck.
Also, it would be nice if Guix System had efibootmgr. I had to boot
another distro to get it.
Notice how the Fedora entry (which works) looks the same as the Guix
entry, and how I tried pointing it to the right EFI file:
/dev/sda1:/EFI/Guix/grubx64.efi. Nevertheless, Guix does not boot.
I installed Guix using the wizard. I used disk encryption.
I also tried booting the installed system manually, from the installer's
copy of GRUB (pressing "c" before the system boots). When I did
"cryptomount -a" at the GRUB prompt, no password prompt was given. It
just said "unknown filesystem" and I could not access the encrypted
partition. The EFI partition was accessible, but there was no kernel to
point to, so I could not boot the system by typing in GRUB commands.
I hope this has been enough information. Please tell me if there is
anything else I can do to help.
Good night.
