Here's how I reproduced the possible bug:

Locale: English
Locale Location: United States
Choose Graphical Install
Timezone: *not included due to privacy*
Layout: English (US)
Variant: English (US)
Hostname: *Anything*
Internet Access: Wifi
Substitute server discovery: Disable
System Admin Password
User Creation
Desktop Environment: Emacs EXWM
Network Service: OpenSSH, Mozilla NSS Cert
Partitioning Method: Guided - using entire disk with encryption
Disk: select hard drive
Partitioning Scheme: Everything in one partition

** It then goes black**

You end up on back on Locale

Hello,

> Disk: select hard drive
> Partitioning Scheme: Everything in one partition

Thanks for the bug report. I definitely looks like an installer
crash. Could you share the initial formatting of your disk (MSDOS or
GPT and existing partitions) ?

Hi Mattheiu,

I'm using the default partitioning on the graphical installer. Apologies as I'm not really that familiar with disk formatting that's why I used the defaults of the installer.

Hello,

This could be fixed by 154a4e046281c28e39b5016e965d3d937a2ea4a1.

Would it be possible for you to try to reproduce the issue with this
installation image: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/download/331?

It would also be great if you could switch to a TTY (cltr-alt-f3), run
"fdisk -l" and report the output.

Thanks for your help,

Mathieu
