No, I will not report there.  They know enough.

Thank you for reporting back.  Please respond to 35...@debbugs.gnu.org
as well next time.  I will mention your observations on UUIDs on the
grub-devel mailing list.

If this ISO works, then this still-ongoing GRUB mailing list thread
described your issue as well:

I believe this is .

branched off.

Can you try an ISO built from current Guix git master?

2019-05-22 Thread Francisco Gómez 
When I have inserted a device recorded with a GuixSD image in my Late 
2009 iMac (EFI, not UEFI) during boot, the computer gets stuck in a 
loop and doesn't respond. I believe this is due to a lack of, or 
duplication, of UUIDs (not to be confused with PARTUUIDs) on some 
partitions, as manually assigning them allows my computer to properly 
detect the attached devices and boot from the GuixSD one (although not 
successfully).

Mapped file guix-system-install-1.0.1.x86_64-linux.iso as /dev/loop0.
