    Please find the updated zImage links on another web site.

    http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3875 (http://forum.niosforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3875)

    Did you use the minimal kernel config file ?

    cp ~/download/kernel.config ~/linux-2.6.x/.config

    And make ..... zImage again.
