unable to build new virtual machine from local clean kernel source

contrun commented 5 years ago

Issue description

I tried to build a new vm with NIXOS_CONFIG=/home/e/kernel-dev.nix nixos-rebuild build-vm-with-bootloader. where /home/e/kernel-dev.nix is

{ config, pkgs, ... }: {
  boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackagesFor (pkgs.linuxManualConfig {
    stdenv = pkgs.stdenv;
    src = pkgs.lib.cleanSource /home/e/Workspace/linux;
    version = "5.3.0-rc7";
    configfile = builtins.path {
      path = /home/e/kernel-config;
      name = "linux-config";
    };
    allowImportFromDerivation = true;
  });
}

/home/e/Workspace/linux is the latest linux source tree obtained by git clone, the commit is 1e3778cb223e861808ae0daccf353536e7573eed, and /home/e/kernel-config is generated by zcat /proc/config.gz > .config && make oldconfig with CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y.

Unfortunately, building failed at postInstall stage

It seems the needed Documentation folder is removed here

What shall I do?

Steps to reproduce

See above.

Thank you for your contributions. This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days. If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity. Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.
