error: package u-boot is not available, refusing to evaluate

[7596ff]

I'm on a MacBook Pro 14 with an M1 Pro.

I've followed the installation instructions using the latest iso from the releases page. At the point where I am running nixos-install, I get the following error:

error: Package uboot-apple_m1_defconfig-2023.04.asahi2-1 in /nix/store/hmm1q79xgziadmx7hymqcvv3ingn3b8z-nixos-23.11.20230605.7409488/nixos/pkgs/misc/uboot/default.nix:124 is not available on the requested hostPlatform:
        hostPlatform.config = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
        package.meta.platforms = [
          "aarch64-linux"
        ]
        package.meta.badPlatforms = [ ]
        , refusing to evaluate.

It further suggests that I enable nixpkgs.config.allowUnsupportedSystem, but doing so leaves me with another error: an x86_64-linux with features {} is required to build <networkmanager>, but I am a aarch64-linux with features {benchmark, big-parallel, gccarch-armv8-a, kvm, nixos-test}

I can't seem to find anything online about this particular problem, and I am not experienced enough with nixpkgs to understand if there's something I'm doing that's causing this or not.

I apologize, this was a bug introduced by upstream Nixpkgs in nixos-generate-config that I noticed but forgot to address.

Open up /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix, change the line which references x86_64-linux to instead say aarch64-linux, and you should be good to run the install command again. If you ever need to run nixos-generate-config again, you will need to redo this step.

I will work on getting this fixed.

(The support you've been providing for free is considerably better and more timely than some that I've paid for. Thank you!)

Hopefully this will make its way to the release channel in a few days and I will do a new release.

This is fixed in the latest release.
