Geiser is trying to locate your project root using Emacs's project-root
function.  If your directory structure is such that project-root is not
adequate, you can avoid it customizing
geiser-repl-current-project-function (e.g., you can set it to #'ignore).
The REPL will then use as current directory that of the first buffer
from which you start it.
