I'll be able to make a boot partition (around 512 MB) just fine, but when trying to make a partition on the rest of the disk (or even most of it), the installer will immediately reset and take me back to picking the language. I then tried the CLI installation method which fared quite a bit better. For one, I got past the partitioning stage, mounted the partitions to the appropriate places, and made a configuration. It even gets through most of the installation progress, but unfortunately fails on what seems to be the very last step, initializing the operating system under /mnt, specifically populating /mnt. bootloader-installer fails with the following error: Initializing operating system under '/mnt'... copying to '/mnt'... populating '/mnt'... error: '/gnu/store/[hash]-grub-efi-2.02/sbin/grub-install --boot-directory /mnt/boot --bootloader-id=Guix --efi-directory /mnt/boot/efi' exited with status 1; output follows: Installing for x86_64-efi platform.

This seems like a weird path to me with efi/EFI, but I don't really have experience with tinkering with grub. Changing the path to be /mnt/boot/efi/Guix/grubx64.efi doesn't change the bootloader error. - I've transcribed the above errors by hand, but since they seem to be exporting the output to /tmp, there's got to be a better way. Is it possible to email this list from inside the installation image?

So it seems that the additional patch is improving the situation. I also fear that 1.1.0-rc2 is having the same error as 1.0.1 but is swallowing it. I will investigate it further. Regarding the efibootmgr error, I'm not really familiar with EFI. Can you check that efivarfs is mounted as suggested here[1]?

What I wrote at was not necessary there but maybe is in your case. That said, this situation is far from ideal, but I don’t think the AMD firmware will be freed (if there is no other way).
