Hi Guixers

After updating my system to the newest commit my system shows a black
screen after login. I booted the old generation #135 and had access to
my system again. This generation is still with linux 7.1, which I see in
the grub menu. Now I extracted the commit of the good generation with

guix system describe /var/guix/profiles/system-135-link/profile

and found the good commit 5c217ab1361758851ac89bc523015fcd965c0a83. I
reconfigured my system with this commit in channels.scm with

sudo guix time-machine --channels=channels.scm -- system reconfigure
--allow-downgrades config/system/my-system.scm

but when I reboot I am stuck with a black screen after login again. What
is also very weird is that the grub menu shows the system has linux 7.2,
which should not be the case according to the commit. Also

uname -a

returns linux 7.1, there seems to be an display error in the grub menu.

Looking at /var/log/messages I see no obvious problems with my system. There
are some errors:

localhost linux: [    0.286954] ACPI Error: AE_ALREADY_EXISTS, During

GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.freedesktop.login1 was not provided by any .service files

but I cannot really tel which one causes the black screen after
login. What concerns me is that there seems to be some state left which
prevents my system from functioning with the good commit. Any ideas how
to proceed from here?

Best,
Reza
