I was not successful at installing Guix onto a virtual machine. At the end I get an error message. I believe it is some how related to the file system. I tried first with btrfs twice, I did manual partitioning first, but when it errored the first time, I figured I did it wrong, so I did btrfs with automatic partition, with the same issue, so I tried again with ext, and the issue persisted. Enclodes are screenshots of the error screen.
