This is a good example how to setup GuixSD on UEFI system
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl

Before I thanked to Ludovic for its answer, but when I am in the smartphone and I reply to a list, sometimes I reply to the user and not the list, silly mistakes hehe. What I replyed to Ludovic was:

Hi Ludovic!

Thank you for your answer. If am not wrong, yes, I installed in a UEFI machine. I use the configuration file copied as in the instructions of GuixSD said.

I have thought that the problem could be related with the partition for boot, maybe I did something wrong in that step.

Now I don't get any error, simply I can't access. Thia afternoon I am going to try again and if it happens again, I will write the error to share with you.

Regards, Iván

Hi Oleg, thank you for your answer. The configuration file that I use in the process of installation of GuixSD was the file desktop.scm in /etc/configuration. I copied that with (as here):

cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm

I think that I made something wrong when I have to create the partition to the grub.
