What version of nix are you using? You must have an ide header for your cd to work. I could be wrong but most mobos are still using ide for cd/dvd. Can you boot into a previous kernel? Can you boot from your cd using a nix distribution disk, then check to see if grub is not corrupted etc? Also check that menu.lst is configured correctly for the new kernel Cheers Chris
