Hi nix-dev, I recently tried to update to the latest from hydra with nix-channel --update nixos-rebuild boot but the latter finished by saying
updating GRUB 2 menu... installing the GRUB 2 boot loader on /dev/sdb... Path `/boot/grub' is not readable by GRUB on boot. Installation is impossible. Aborting. /nix/store/16sq20had0hpfs99s0878vb014r10nll-install-grub.pl: installation of GRUB on /dev/sdb failed After I restarted, GRUB was indeed not able to read /boot, and I got a rescue shell*. /boot is on my root LVM volume. This configuration worked until now; I think the last time I updated was a few weeks ago. Any ideas what might have changed? configuration.nix attached. Thanks, James *I got around it in the end. If anyone else has the problem, I worked around it by: - booting into a different Linux installation and manually copying NixOS's /boot to a non-LVM partition - rebooting choosing a different disk which still had a working grub, telling that grub to load NixOS's grub.cfg (which brought up NixOS's grub meny) and then editing NixOS's default menu item to add root (hd1,1) (my new boot)
