 Arian | Has anyone had issues with updating to nixos unstable? I had one report of not being able to find root disk after update anymore. I personally cant reproduce. Wonder if its instance type specific | 09:47:20 |
| Arian | Dropping of BIOS has been delayed. I didn't realize that many people use NixOS on bare metal instances for nixos tests and bare metal is BIOS only :(( | 09:48:07 |
| 12 May 2026 |
 commiterate | wait what? I thought all newer instance types (metal included) supported UEFI | 01:17:43 |
| commiterate |
All instances built on the AWS Nitro System support both UEFI and Legacy BIOS, except the following: bare metal instances, DL1, G4ad, P4, u-3tb1, u-6tb1, u-9tb1, u-12tb1, u-18tb1, u-24tb1, and VT1. For more information, see Determine the supported boot modes of an EC2 instance type.

 p14 | Can confirm need for bare metal on x86 and lack of uefi boot there. | 10:26:36 |

| Arian | Except the following: bare metal instances | 20:10:17 |
| Arian | Graviton bare metal does support UEFI | 20:10:30 |
| Arian | But x86 does not :(( | 20:10:36 |

| Arian | Have you looked at the repart appliance image tests? | 11:31:36 |
| Arian | What I'd do is make the AMI EBS Volume an EROFS volume. Then overlay mount the rootfs over it | 11:33:05 |
| Arian | and that can be on the instance store or whatever | 11:33:30 |
| Arian | or just... only mount /var to the instance store | 11:33:37 |
| Arian | Do you want to be able to have interactive nix usage afterwards? | 11:33:44 |
| 21 Aug 2025 |
| commiterate | These tests?
