Wrong information on NIOSWIKI? (Related to the timer)

Hello i am making a hardware design and i am following NIOSWIKI orientations, however if i select my IRQ0 to be the timer (as NIOSWIKI tells me to do) my design doesnt work, the linux doesnt boot.

But if i select my ECPS_CONTROLLER as IRQ0 everything runs just fine.

Is this correct? Thanks

    AFAIK, IRQ 0 should not be used at all, as same is a fallback if a correct handler is not found.
