At about 1.3839 seconds into the boot process, I get the message:

…
Freeing unused kernel memory: 524k freed

This was a brand spanking new install yesterday, with a nixos-checkout and everything. I’ve re-installed once already this morning, but that does not appear to wipe the slate clean. (i.e. it gets rid of the panic, but all of my old configuration is still there.) Presumably /nix/store still has whatever is causing the problem.

BTW: I’m running the 3.2 kernel because I’m fiddling with btrfs.
