Nios II Linux v1.4 does not support CycloneII?

We don't officially support the Cyclone II boards from Altera yet but I would recommend the following:

- Select the PTF file from the "standard" reference design provided by Altera when building your kernel project

- Ensure that you select "ext_flash" as your upload device

- Ensure that you select "ddr_sdram" as your execution device

- when configuring your kernel

-- Select Stratix II as your platform (take a look at the back of the Quick Start Guide for an example)

-- be sure to turn off IDE support (take a look at the back of the Quick Start Guide for an example)

That should get you a kernel that will build and upload. Unfortunately, we don't have a Cyclone II dev board in house at this time so I can't tell you if it'll work or not.

Let me know how it goes
