Urgh, I know this test laptop (x201) is ancient, but why is nixos shutting down during install? No hints shown that I can catch before it's too late :( I now can't even get the USB to boot all the way to the nixos desktop before it shuts down. (overheating?)

Anything in BIOS (or perhaps a BMC?) event logs about thermal events?

Replying to @jogbert
Looks like with thinkfan installed it copes - I think the thermal performance of this laptop has failed to cope with being in a box for five years. Maybe the paste has all dried out. Still it's working now and I have a laptop with encrypted disk and LVM, so experiment continues
