As I wrote before, once you’ve booted into GuixSD, chances are that the
original distro on that partition is in a bad state because GuixSD has
fiddle with /etc and other global directories.

Could you explain the KMS issue in a separate thread?

It’s enough to modify grub.cfg. GRUB itself is not needed.
But anyway, the take-home message is that if you run ‘guix system init’
on your current root, then you can assume the former distro to no longer
be bootable.
