kexec currently broken

Open benaryorg opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The kexec and kexec-bundle formats were considered broken in #241:

move some broken formats to ./formats-broken to fix later

As far as I understand it's because some kexec code living outside this repository still uses <nixpkgs> syntax or similar which is broken in flake evaluation or something like that. Either way this is the tracking issue for kexec and kexec-bundle which are very useful for installing NixOS on some remote server hardware which does not offer corresponding working rescue systems.
