After an update from:
https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/20.09/nixos-20.09.2718.e4adbfbab8a
to:
https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/20.09/nixos-20.09.3124.2118cf551b9
linuxPackages_5_8 that I was using has disappeared. virtualbox-modules are broken for newest kernel version.

I have this boot.kernelPackages pin to 5.8 in order to build the non-broken version. But no there is no 5.8, if I try it with pkgs.linuxPackages_5_10 it shows that it’s broken.

λ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade

error: Package ‘virtualbox-modules-6.1.16-5.10.15’ in /nix/store/b5agxjgc63rlji3pvkdg9ksb4j5mpa43-nixos/nixos/pkgs/os-specific/linux/virtualbox/default.nix:20 is marked as broken, refusing to evaluate.

a) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
  { nixpkgs.config.allowBroken = true; }
in configuration.nix to override this.

b) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
  { allowBroken = true; }
to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

Update channels

boot.kernelPackages are downgraded from linuxPackages_5_8 to
linuxPackages_5_4 because 5.8 has disappeared after this update.

This now got fixed.

After an update to this release:
https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/20.09/nixos-20.09.3383.37b47da04ca
I managed to rebuild NixOS with boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest.
