This option allows you to override the Linux kernel used by
NixOS. Since things like external kernel module packages are
tied to the kernel you're using, it also overrides those.
This option is a function that takes Nixpkgs as an argument
(as a convenience), and returns an attribute set containing at
the very least an attribute <varname>kernel</varname>.
Additional attributes may be needed depending on your
configuration. For instance, if you use the NVIDIA X driver,
then it also needs to contain an attribute
<varname>nvidia_x11</varname>.

The set of kernel modules in the initial ramdisk used during the
boot process. This set must include all modules necessary for
mounting the root device. That is, it should include modules
for the physical device (e.g., SCSI drivers) and for the file
system (e.g., ext3). The set specified here is automatically
closed under the module dependency relation, i.e., all
dependencies of the modules list here are included
automatically. The modules listed here are available in the
initrd, but are only loaded on demand (e.g., the ext3 module is
loaded automatically when an ext3 filesystem is mounted, and
modules for PCI devices are loaded when they match the PCI ID
of a device in your system). To force a module to be loaded,
include it in <option>boot.initrd.kernelModules</option>.

###### implementation
Add support for lightweight NixOS containers You can now say: systemd.containers.foo.config = { services.openssh.enable = true; services.openssh.ports = [ 2022 ]; users.extraUsers.root.openssh.authorizedKeys.keys = [ "ssh-dss ..." ]; }; which defines a NixOS instance with the given configuration running inside a lightweight container. You can also manage the configuration of the container independently from the host: systemd.containers.foo.path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo"; where "path" is a NixOS system profile. It can be created/updated by doing: $ nix-env --set -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/containers/foo \ -f '<nixos>' -A system -I nixos-config=foo.nix The container configuration (foo.nix) should define boot.isContainer = true; to optimise away the building of a kernel and initrd. This is done automatically when using the "config" route. On the host, a lightweight container appears as the service "container-<name>.service". The container is like a regular NixOS (virtual) machine, except that it doesn't have its own kernel. It has its own root file system (by default /var/lib/containers/<name>), but shares the Nix store of the host (as a read-only bind mount). It also has access to the network devices of the host. Currently, if the configuration of the container changes, running "nixos-rebuild switch" on the host will cause the container to be rebooted. In the future we may want to send some message to the container so that it can activate the new container configuration without rebooting. Containers are not perfectly isolated yet. In particular, the host's /sys/fs/cgroup is mounted (writable!) in the guest.
