Pull request #38470 added support for running/building kernels without modules. This got merged in 38e04bbf29fe3b6af26b3505a42ce5871aeac17d but unfortunately while this works perfectly on kernels without modules it also makes sure that *every* kernel gets no modules. So all of our VM tests fail since that merge with something like this: machine# loading module loop... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module loop not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 machine# loading module vfat... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module vfat not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 machine# loading module nls_cp437... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module nls_cp437 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 machine# loading module nls_iso8859-1... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module nls_iso8859-1 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 machine# loading module fuse... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 machine# loading module dm_mod... machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module dm_mod not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33 I shortly tested this against the "misc" VM test and the test is working again. In the long term (and I currently don't have time for this) it would be better to also have a VM test which tests a kernel without modules.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
