[Nix-dev] NixOS Live CD (Graphic) Boot Failure

[J. Brian Kelley]

If only I knew what I was doing ....

Linux Mint modprobe configs just gets a response that configs does not exist

Linux Mint modprobe -c does generate a long list. The first and last 
entries are:

alias symbol:tua9001_attach tua9001
...
...
alias symbol:zl10353_attach zl10353

If this is what is wanted, how do I send it (attachments allowed?) and 
if not, where should I look (or specific modprobe options and arguments)?

It was also suggested that a full dmesg log would help, but that may be 
difficult as I am booting from the nixos live-cd. Perhaps not impossible 
if the output could be directed to my flash drive. I think I might be 
able to make text changes to the .iso (use Peazip to extract the 
contents and ImgBurn to regenerate the .iso), if some guidance as to 
what and where.

I remain suspicious that this is a device identification problem (like 
deciding that since the drive is SATA III the controller must be as well 
(it's actually SATA II). Since I can look into the text portions of the 
.iso, where should I look? I'd like to see how it compares to the 
gparted live-cd .iso (it should be far less complex than the Linux Mint 
and certainly can run my drive).
