bug#35875: Guix won't boot after installation with fully encrypted disk

[Reg]

Hi Florian,

Thank you very much for getting back to me! CSM legacy support was 
already enabled on my ThinkPad but guess what.. *Disabling* it fixed the 
problem! My computer is booting without issues now with a fully 
encrypted disk.

Thank you so much!

Best regards,
Reg
