I have just executed nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable nixos and nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade. After that, I’ve rebooted and got this error message instead:
error: file `/nix/store/.../bzImage` not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.
The curious part is this error is also happening for all previous generations, so I’m stuck outside my system now…
Below is my configuration.nix file. I’ve pinned a kernel/nvidia package version, as the current nvidia driver has a flickering bug with NVIDIA Turing cards. What could be happening here?
