Re: [Nix-dev] boot problem: stage1 repair console doesn't work under VirtualBox
I've tried this approach on a real machine, the result is the same. 2014-02-05 Sergey Mironov grr...@gmail.com: Hi! Looks like stage1 repair console can't read user input, at least under VirtualBox. Here is how to reproduce the problem: 1. Boot VirtualBox with NixOS minimal installation CD attached 2. Press 'e' in the grub to edit kernel command line 3. Add bood.debug1 kernel argument 4. Boot Repair console appears but It doesn't react on key presses. It feels like /dev/tty1 hangs while trying to read something (bash 'read' operator). Note that system doesn't hang in general, other processes continue to work (I have carried out some experiments with inserting ( while true ; do echo -n . ; sleep 1; done) into stage-1 script) Any ideas on how to fix it?

Re: [Nix-dev] boot problem: stage1 repair console doesn't work under VirtualBox
On my real machine I've tried nixos-minimal-13.10.35608.1e7192a-x86_64-linux.iso from the official site. In VirtualBox test I used manually built image, sources were forked from 5898d854da459526ef032db1ad081a6eebbd772d.

Does it happen with a master iso image? At some point, we missed the atkbd module in stage 1. In case of a USB keyboard, something similar may happen. 2014-02-05 Sergey Mironov grr...@gmail.com: Hi!

Adding the module to boot.initrd.kernelModules should work the same
without rebuilding the kernel, won't it?

Re: [Nix-dev] boot problem: stage1 repair console doesn't work under VirtualBox
AFAIK, there is a fail call in the initrd's ./stage1.sh which sits
before module loading [1]. This means that boot.debug1 will only works
with KEYBOARD_ATKBD y
