My first suggestion is to use "make xconfig" instead of"make menuconfig". It is a graphic configration tool and you can ignore the Board Selection.

The third is you may be careful with the kernel because the memory is very limited for Linux design on DE0.

It's very kind of you to reply!

I have successfully transformed uClinux to my DE0 board under default settings. I start with a minimum hardware systems.

But you know ,the IO pins and chips on DE0 board are quite diffrent from those on DE2 board and other boards supported by nios2-linux.As a result ,the device drivers may not apply to DE0 board!
