I get the following message while booting both the plasma and the minimal installer:
mounting /mnt-root/iso/nix-store.squashfs on /nix/.ro-store
[...] /dev/loop0: Can't open blockdev
[...] unable to read id index table
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /mnt-root/nix.ro-store failed: Invalid argument
An error occurred in stage 1 of the boot process, which must
mount the root filesystem on '/mnt-root' and start the stage 2.
Press one of the following keys:
i) to launch an interactive shell
f) to start an interactive shell having pid 1
(needed if you want to start stage 2's init manually)
r) to reboot immediately
*) to ignore the error and continue
Iām using a Thinkpad E14
P.S:
do the shasums not match the downloadable binaries?
https://nixos.org/download.html#nixos-iso
e.g. 19b6ca3a7d594bc2da063241491e70109c718bcd0632026fb257052e8fb1af9a nixos-gnome-21.11.336811.0aac710801a-x86_64-linux.iso
vs the file that is downloaded being
nixos-gnome-21.11.336792.6f88260faaa-x86_64-linux.iso
