yes, I know Guix init process exiting and due to being PID 1 kernel panics.

In the meantime I reinstalled Guix again and it booted correctly, no idea what 
caused it.


However, my question was/still is how to fix this? Also is there a way to 
determine what caused this? Is there a way to launch the debug shell instead of 
exiting?
