Hello!
I recently installed NixOS 24.11 on my machine, a Slimbook PRO X with an AMD 7 4800H. I’m facing a weird problem. When trying to boot while on battery (no AC plugged in), NixOS will shutdown immediately, sometimes shortly after starting Stage 2, sometimes even before it leaves Stage 1.
I had previously installed NixOS 24.05 and had the same issue, but thought it was a problem with the machine. However, I installed Fedora and had been working without a problem. When the last NixOS release was announced, I wanted to try it again, but the problem persists. I’ve already searched the internet and this forum, but only found people with boot processes hang, not abruptly shuting down.
Any help would be much appreciated.
