1 year ago I have tried copying a .config from a working Ubuntu build to the NixOS build and it fails with the same error. I find this behavior very odd.
I think the ideal scenario way of doing this is adding more expressiveness to the configuration tweaks. Currently, the configuration is easy to replicate due to explicit command use, however those commands can actually be quite trickly since they don't fail when a mistake is made in the argument.
Similarly, certain tweaks seem to be made not because they are required for the modules to work, but for the unrelated convenience tweaking. Imo, all the config tweaks should be carefully documented - that's the only way to make them clear.
As for committing the working .config - it would be a good addition, but might be difficult to maintain, and we'd really require one per supported distro, as from my experience with copying over a working config into NixOS it is not enough to just have a working config from somewhere else - it must be working for a given environment.
Oh, and here's a sample config: https://gist.github.com/MOZGIII/1b818a5fa7f57b2e947fd42f4df42009 Just in can it might help.

the snp-latest kernel does not build on fedora. Which rpm distro should i use instead? I think it might be a good idea to just commit a working .config instead of patching the distro one?
