Brave! I'm really impressed, how you could work out with such an unpolished work. Congratulations! :) > I've then tried to build my system with a recent kernel (3.1).

I think that you have not set the platform in your nixpkgs: nixpkgs.config.platform = pkgs.platform.sheevaplug; You also need that in the ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix for normal profiles to install proper packages. That will use all the sheevaplug details in building (like kernel configurations, etc.) Regards, Lluís. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
