[Nix-dev] Nix OS installation problems - Where's the hard drive?

[Wout Mertens]

Hmmm, maybe it's missing other required kernel parameters?

http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SCSI_SAS_ATA.html seems to suggest you
also need to set CONFIG_SCSI_SAS_LIBSAS. I don't know how to run the kernel
configurator on nixos :(

As part of the install, it downloads the nixpkgs expressions to /nix/store:

$ ls /nix/store/*/nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix
/nix/store/5mpw0lr921jswgx6ilgb0587q1vlac73-user-environment/nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix
/nix/store/p3wrav40j6gxgpnmi75s69jsdwfsc0v6-nixpkgs-14.10pre50084.b360955/nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix
/nix/store/psnp5nnxb2v1prsznvj1rrm3md5q515j-user-environment/nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix
/nix/store/sf36k00idxxvgm2rx8yff5lmnmln75jk-nixpkgs-14.10pre50188.0b23b5b/nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix

So you need to pick one of those as your NIX_PATH.

Wout.
