I have already said, if I replace grub with systemd-boot from the Arch Linux image on a flash drive, then I can boot any distribution even Ubuntu. If I install distribution with Grub on the built-in eMMC or manually installed SSD, there will be a cursor. Distributions that only support Grub, I can boot via rEFInd, but with GuixSD it won't work.
A And there are no support for Legacy boot, only UEFI. Also there are no possibility to add boot records to efivars, only Windows Boot Manager and bootx64.efi 28.02.2019, 13:15, "Steve" <[email protected]>: How do you know the problem is grub? Did you also try LiveUSB images that use Syslinux or grub4dos or bootmgr and do they work OK? Did you try booting the grub LiveUSB on another system or on a VM? How did you make the grub LiveUSB? Do you see any messages at all? Did you change the BIOS settings? Are you trying to Legacy\MBR boot or UEFI-boot? Since others have install Ubuntu [1]https://askubuntu.com/questions/1112551/18-04-on-a-yoga33011igm-sd-r eader-not-working-touchpad-working-sometimes It is clearly possible to install and boot grub from it. A Legacy boot to a black screen with Flashing cursor only (no other messages) is usually an indication that the BIOS has booted the bootloader incorrectly - possible reasons are that it thinks you USB device is a floppy disk or super-floppy and not a 'hard disk'. With some systems, this can be fixed by making sure the USB drive has two primary partitions (even if the 2nd one is not used at all).

When installing system with Grub is the same. Given that most LiveCD images come with Grub, I need to replace Grub with systemd-boot on each image. And the use of GuixSD is impossible at all. What should I do to solve this problem? _______________________________________________ Help-grub mailing list [3][email protected] [4]https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-grub --A D-!
