If there are any problems in your SoPC system, they usually show up at the bottom of the screen in the little information window. You must resolve these errors before generating the system.

Not setting the reset and exception vectors for the processor is an error and you cannot generate the system until you've resolved it.

SoPC builder prints out a log file "<name_of_your_system>_log.txt" during generation.

Sounds like in his simple case, he was using onchip memory for those vectors. What you set the reset and exception vectors to is dependent on your system, there is no "one size fits all" value.
