Hey all. I’ve been refactoring my configuration to make it easier to define new hosts. Today I tried it for the first time and I found that the amdgpu module isn’t getting loaded. Here’s the relevant kernel logs:

If error -2 means ENOENT, that would mean the amdgpu module isn’t finding some firmware files. I would suspect that something is terribly wrong with my config and setting boot.intird.kernelModules = [ "amdgpu" ] is configuring the wrong kernel instance or something.
The reason I suspect it’s the configuration is because I’m setting a custom instance of pkgs, adding an overlay for unstable, and setting boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxKernel_latest.
The working configuration is in this folder, just a configuration.nix and hardware.nix
My rewrite is a lot more verbose, with modules, library functions, etc. The most relevant stuff would be in modules/default.nix here, which sets the kernel packages:
boot = {
# Prefer the latest kernel
kernelPackages = mkDefault pkgs.linuxPackages_latest;
loader = {
efi.canTouchEfiVariables = mkDefault true;
systemd-boot.enable = mkDefault true;
systemd-boot.configurationLimit = mkDefault 10;
};
};
lib/hosts.nix here, which configures the top level nixosSystem invocation:
{
vicos,
pkgsDefaults,
}:
{
mkHost =
{
name,
system,
configuration,
}:
let
inherit (vicos.inputs) nixpkgs nixpkgs-unstable home-manager;
pkgs =
import nixpkgs {
inherit system;
overlays = [
(self: super: {
unstable = import nixpkgs-unstable { inherit system; } // pkgsDefaults;
})
];
}
// pkgsDefaults;
in
nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
modules = [
nixpkgs.nixosModules.readOnlyPkgs
home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
{
nixpkgs.pkgs = pkgs;
networking.hostName = name;
}
(import ../modules)
{
vicos.flake = {
inherit (vicos) lib path inputs;
inherit system;
};
}
configuration
] ++ (vicos.lib.walkModules ../modules);
};
}
and hosts/thunkbox here which is the config I’m testing.
Any help would be appreciated, as well as some sources or documentation that would be relevant!
