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

[J. Brian Kelley]

And you are correct - 
nixos-graphical-0.1pre4006_7435db-bc9efb6-x86_64-linux.iso does boot, 
but not without complaint.

It does not switch to hi-res, so it made it a bit easier to read things 
as they flash by (scroll lock seems to be ignored if the message line 
starts with the character [  ).

The error triplet occurs before the login request and is preceded by:

ata1:hard resetting link
ata1:SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
ata.00: configured for UDMA/133
ata1:EH complete
ata1:limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps

The error triplet then occurs:

ata1:exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x40000000 action 0xe frozen
ata1:irq-stat 0x00000040, connection status changed
ata1:SError { DevExch }

After that there is one more:

ata1:hard resetting link

Finally, the login request is presented. There is no eternal repetition 
of the error triplet as seen in the current live-cd.

Logged in and the desktop came up.

Could something this old still be usable with updates? Will the link 
speed remain at Sata 1 levels?
