Why linux did not boot?

Hi all,

After I "make linux image" in red hat linux,I download the zImage to the ram of my custom board with the command "nios2-download zImage" in the Nios2 Command Shell.

When I run "nios2-terminal" in the Nios2 Command Shell, the linux did not boot,why?

Please tell me how to do? The following is the message:

. Removing old PATH, because a copy of

. cygwin1.dll was found at:

. /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

. You can remove or rename it to avoid conflict.

.
