Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash… And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I’m suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support… Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don’t respond, SysRq doesn’t work)

    My suggestion would be to try compiling the kernel locally.its highly likely the one packaged in your distro contains extensions that you don’t have. Doing a local native compile should rule that out pretty quickly without having to disable any additional features.

      Looks like dmesg isn’t being logged to disk… But I made my font smaller 😹 Definitely more to go on there, this happened while playing Minecraft with a small human so I didn’t dig into it yet. I’m pretty sure the kernel I’m running was built by a derivation that applies some preempt patches so I’ll start there. Ubuntu works fine with the adapter, but it’s also not a preemptable kernel.
