Sam,

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this problem. This sounds to me 
like it is actually the problem with the shepherd upgrade as describe in 
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39671>, not with linux-libre.

If you want to verify that's the case, you can try reconfiguring with 
commit d39885a8a9e0e03c2bf6277d475d384168bba642 by running

`guix time-machine --commit=d39885a8a9e0e03c2bf6277d475d384168bba642 -- system reconfigure /path/to/config.scm`

That commit will have linux-libre 5.4.20, but not the new shepherd.

Best,
Jack
