David, the command $ nix-build "<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>" -A iso_graphical.x86_64-linux
worked and created an iso. I made a live usb with it, but the problem persists. Upon booting, the only available hard drive is the usb. So, the iso did not use the system configuration.nix file. Alexander, could you elaborate on what I'd need to copy and change to embed these kernel changes? I tried to add the same lines of code (... SCSI_SAS_ATA y) into release.nix, but got an error saying that release.nix is part of a read only file system.
