Hi im having an issue where trying to run sudo nixos-rebuild switch results in “failed to canonicalize /nix/store/***/kernel-modules/bzImage: No such file or directory” error.
I was trying to use flakes, and that’s around when this issue started, but even after switching back to previous setups without flakes, this problem persists. What can I do to fix this?

I’m having the same issue, but this problem persists even after running sudo nix-collect-garbage -d
I added --show-trace -L -v
$ sudo cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
$ nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command flakes build --out-link /tmp/nixos-rebuild.3Cck3R/nixos-rebuild /home/user/nixconf#nixosConfigurations."hostname".config.system.build.nixos-rebuild --show-trace -L -v
$ exec /nix/store/0ml5vq2c2gvia1zxrx8bb6izn9h0gj7j-nixos-rebuild/bin/nixos-rebuild switch --flake /home/user/nixconf --show-trace -L -v
$ sudo cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
