newbie to uClinux, having install problem

Okay sorry to bring this back up again, but I finally have a resolution.

I re-installed from scratch the entire group of apps starting with Quartus v4.2 with everything default, then the service pack 1. Then I installed Nios v1.1 and finally the uClinux v1.3. There is no problem anymore with the installation. I did not want to do this earlier because things were already working except for uClinux kernel development. So hopefully for those with similar problems, i would recommend a total clean install of everything and leave the Quartus to install most of the defaults... i think my mistake the first time was i was selective of certain components to install. I did re-install Nios dev kit over and over again several times but it was Quartus re-install that did the trick.
