Here is my `boot= loader` section of `config=2Escm`:

(bootloader (bootloader-co= nfiguration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (targets (list "/dev/sda")) (men= u-entries (list (menu-entry (label "Arch Linux") (device (uuid = "886fb01f-323f-40ab-9434-9f00feb96446" 'ext4)) (linux "/boot/vmlinuz-li= nux-rt") (linux-arguments '("root=3DUUID=3D886fb01f-323f-40ab-9434-9f00= feb96446 rw quiet")) (initrd "/boot/initramfs-linux-rt=2Eimg")))) (de= fault-entry 0) (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
```

I am tryin= g to dual boot Guix with Arch, the former resides in `/dev/sda8` and the la= tter at `/dev/sdb1`=2E But the aforementioned configuration doesn't load Ar= ch's kernel resulting in a 'kernel not found error' on the GRUB screen=2E

What could be causing thi= s? I checked `/boot/grub/grub=2Ecfg` and it is trying to search the appropr= iate disk using UUID but because of the filesystem error, it can't access i= t and thus the kernel doesn't boot=2E
