Install NixOS 22.05 from SD: Can't start OS-prober

davidthewatson · June 12, 2022, 1:46pm

I’m installing NixOS 22.05 from USB Stick on Asus Zenbook. Install log is here:

Installer fails with:

2022-06-12 - 13:21:51 [1]: OsproberEntryList PartUtils::runOsprober(DeviceModel*)
ERROR: os-prober cannot start.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

did the fs you attempted to install to remount read-only?

It seems that some other files before could have been copied over.
