Hi.

Tried to install nix but am stuck with an issue I’m not able to resolve. Whenever I boot the system, it uses approx 5min on the boot-up of Nixos Stage #1 as seen in the picture. After a while it will boot into the system but without a GUI. I’ve done the installation twice, with different isos to make sure I didn’t do it wrong. It only works if I downgrade to nixos 23.11, but if I update(+plasma 6) from there It results in the same problem.

The error is:

kernel: Acpi Error: Aborting method (long string) due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT)

Have no idea what this error is, and there don’t seem to be alot of info on it. Reaching out here to see if anyone is able to help me troubleshoot this, as I would really like to try latest Nixos.

    Do you also struggle with extremely long boot times? Whenever I reboot or start the computer up, I am stuck with watching the ROG Asus logo for approx 5 whole minutes… Even if I try to press delete to enter bios, it still takes that long for it to enter bios. However, this doesn’t always happen, sometimes it decides to be “quick about it”. I’ve just made sure I’m running the latest bios version, and have set all values back to default values. So not sure what it can be. It only started this year, too, after acquiring the AMD GPU…
