1 Introduction ============== I've tried to perform the system installation [1] twice in a laptop with no avail. I'm using the ISO whose URL is [3] and is mentioned in [2] and whose SHA512 is [12]. Any help to solve this issue is appreciated. 2 Attempts ========== 2.1 First attempt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this attempt, I used the terminal based graphical interface. The final result was that when booting, my laptop showed the GRUB shell. This was probably caused because I had Ubuntu installed and I didn't format the EFI partition (i.e. I didn't change the default option "No" of "Format the partition?" [4]). In this attempt, I used this partition configuration [5]. The congratulations screen [8] was shown and these messages [9] were shown for a short time before the laptop started the reboot after the installation. 2.2 Second attempt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this attempt, I used the terminal based graphical interface and the same partition configuration [5]. The final result was that when booting, my laptop showed "Operating System Not Found" [7]. This time I answered "Yes" to "Format the partition?" [6] in the EFI partition at the partition configuration step. The congratulations screen [8] was shown and these messages [10] were shown for a short time before the laptop started the reboot after the installation. 3 Additional information ======================== The following is the configuration of my BIOS [11]. As you can see, the "Boot Mode" is set to "UEFI". 4 External links ================ [1] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/System-Installation.html [2] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/USB-Stick-and-DVD-Installation.html [3] https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.3.0.x86_64-linux.iso [4] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Partition_configuration_in_GNU_Guix_installer.jpg [5] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Answer_no_to_format_EFI_partition_in_GNU_Guix.jpg [6] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Yes_to_format_EFI_partition_in_GNU_Guix_installer.jpg [7] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Operating_System_Not_Found.jpg [8] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Congratulations_screen_shown_by_GNU_Guix_wizard_installer.jpg [9] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Messages_shown_after_succesful_installation_in_GNU_Guix.jpg [10] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Messages_shown_after_succesful_installation_in_GNU_Guix_2.jpg [11] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BIOS_in_laptop.jpg [12] 6b867323d45638d38a1355d9ad249d680df3b3aef216c0cd5a0b67c1dc445efec33ba3392801fab0c89b008af27de2fb1a16b36e6e94859afd353bfd1fd49188
