you can use this patch,

In general,

1. untar the kernel source from kernel.org

2. apply uc0 patch from uclinux.org

3. apply nios2nommu patch

hippos info is more cutting-edge and up to date however; it's hard to keep up with him http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif
