sudo nixos-rebuild switch works without problem, why?
Wait, it doesn’t seem to solve completely the problem as sudo nixos-rebuild --upgrade switch doesn’t create a new grub line

is not an error, it is displayed during normal operation of os-prober. Actually I see no errors in the text you pasted. Can you describe exactly the problem you are trying to solve?
Sorry, I was not clear in my description; let me try to take a new start
For 2 or 3 days, when I run “sudo nixos-rebuild switch” or “nixos-rebuild --upgrade switch”, it does not create a new entry in my grub, and neither no new line in my list generation.
When I run these commands, I though the line “lsblk: /dev/mapper/no*[0-9]” after os-prober suspicious, so I commented the line “boot.loader.grub.useOSProber = true;” in my configuration.nix.
Then, the line “lsblk: /dev/mapper/no*[0-9]” disapeared when I run nixos-rebuild and it created a new grub entry as expected.
I though the problem bypassed…
BUT, when I try to reboot with these generations, I have a black screen with just a prompt not blinking. All my new generations bring me a black screen…

I just run nixos-rebuild --upgrade switch, it performed without problems and I succeeded to loggin with this generation… Whereas my 5 or so previous tests created a generation reaching a black screen.
I really don’t know what happened.
