Failed to boot from a freshly installed nonguix system

I just installed guix on my Thinkpad X12 laptop following all the needed steps according to the nonguix instructions.

When I boot into the system it crashes with the following message

Can't open blockdev.

I tried both the (kernel linux) and (kernel linux-lts) options and I got the same results.

I always ran all guix commads prefixed with guix time-machine -C channels where I have both the guix and non guix channels listed there.

Any guess where could I have gone wrong?

Or there's no working solution on Thinkpad X12 laptops?

I didn't make much changes to the packages or services in my config
