Minisforum UH125 Pro

I've tried installing NixOS in this mini PC to experiment with the NPU of its Intel Core Ultra chip.

The machine doesn't boot, keeping a black screen after "EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path". I've tried with Linux 6.10, 6.6 and 6.8, all give a black screen.

Installing with Linux 5.15 gives some output with a boot error, but as this machine doesn't have a serial output port, so I don't know how to retrieve the full stack trace.

Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel 6.8 boots on this machines, so the machine does have Linux support somewhere.

Leaving this report here, as I'd like to use NixOS with it, in case someone finds how to make it boot.
