thanks for your help. you were right my problem was with me enabling the serial uart in the kernel configuration. i had enabled the serial uart, but had not enabled the consol for the uart. i had done this

[*] nios serial support

[ ] support for console on nios uart

when i was building the uclinux kernel on windows, this was how i had done it and i didn't have any trouble with my kernel booting. without your help, i probably would not have figured out was wrong. thanks again for all of you help.
