One of the kernel guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the first code executed is in linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2nommu/kernel/head.S. Look for "__start:"

Thanks! So where is the main function located? (what that assembly code does it work around for a bit, then call main) I was more asking about that.

The main function is located in the start.c file in the same directory. Main then calls start_kernel() found in linux-2.6.x/init/main.c.
