    Which file did you rename to down?

    The Linux build generates a few different images, including one with the kernel but no file system, so if you boot that it gives you an error similar to that.

    Before I can help more I may need a couple of details:

    What article are you following? What version of Ubuntu? What version of Quartus (web edition)? Why can't you download the image from Ubuntu (why copy back to windows)? Are you using the pre-built toolchain, or did you compile it?

    I assume that the 'make' you are talking about is when compiling the zImage in Ubuntu? An 'undefined reference' means that there is some kind of function call that the compiler(linker) can't find the definition for. ie it can't find the file that has the code for the function 'auth_authorize'. However, you should not be getting a zImage. The compilation should stop.

    I suggest removing any image file from the 'images' folder in 'uClilnux_dist' and try compiling again. I'll watch this post for the results (and answers to my questions above...).
