Ok,
now I have collected 4 different 2.4 kernels :)

Two Skytone Alpha 400 and one Elonex and one that is not working...

All are slightly different.

But the minifs is still not running when pressing F3 (I think this is hard-coded
into the kernel). So I will try as the next step to extract the official Letux 
400
kernel from the recovery image.
