Check the MSEL switch at the botton of the board.

If you are booting the LXDE linux flavor, you will need to ground all MSEM pins.

If you need the /dev/fpga0 to be present, you can actually boot LXDE with the other uImage, the one used in Yocto's flavor.

This workaround is presented by ep1015 in this thread: http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47258

That is what I need right now as I'm trying to run OpenCL on LXDE, but I could not manage xserver to work on it yet :(
