I broke my system real bad! I suspect a disk corruption during kexec boot after a reconfigure. I got a blank system derivation file.
Booted into an older generation and ran gc, but it seems like only the newest generation was being kept (marked as current for some reason)! So now I don't have any correct system generation! I can boot into the system, but I cannot reconfigure as the file is blank. I tried to remount the store as rw and delete the file, but then I get "no such file or directory" as it tries to read the file. How on earth can I get out of this mess I have created? Can I try to build this system on another computer and import it into the bad computer...? Or any other way I can reconfigure the system even though I have a bad system? Avoiding the checks?
