Hello Guix,
I have a rockpro64 on which I flashed U-boot on the SPI using
https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/wiki/Flashing-U-Boot-to-SPI. On that
machine, I can boot Debian 13.
I tried the Guix 1.5 aarch64 installer on it. On the display connected via
HDMI, after a while, there is a menu with two entries: Install GNU Guix 1.5
and Firmware setup. In several boot attempts, I managed once to go to the
second menu by pressing the down arrow key on a USB keyboard, but between
the key press and the star changing to the second entry, it is more than 10
seconds.
When the boot process continues, on the serial console, it ends up with a
guile prompt (there is nothing on the HDMI display at all):

During this, the time spent on "Booting /efi\boot\bootaa64.efi", before
getting the next entry (EFI Stub: ERROR) was rather long.
At this point, I have no clue what to do.
I welcome any advice on how to proceed to install Guix on this board.
Cheers,
David.
