I reported this to Altera way back before Christmas, there is a thread somewhere on this site with the messages in it.

NIOS 1.01 (NIOS II V1.0 with service pack 1 applied) is not compatible with Quartus 4.2.

I got the same DMA_128 etc messages as you were getting when I tried a compilation. I'm afraid you need to make sure you have the proper NIOS II V1.1 and Quartus 4.2 in order for it to work properly. I believe that a demo version of NIOS 1.1 is now available for download from Altera, personally I'm licensed and am going to wait until the proper updates come out as I can't risk a weeks downtime trying to get the new stuff working, shame really since Q4.2 20% compilation speed increase was damn useful.
