I have another laptop (Lenovo G50-30) where Guix works on this partition layout
I've made manually:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 230000000 229997953 109.7G 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 230000640 234441647 4441008 2.1G 82 Linux swap / Solaris
But all the new installations on other two notebooks with the same layout do
not work.
