Unfortunately there appears to be no feedback. It could be on the RS232 console,
but the Letux 400 does not even have the connector.

The procedure looks ok.

One thing *may* be different from my approach - deleting the uImage.
I can imagine that Fn+LSh+Rsh may also search for a kernel - who knows...

One note, the F3 could need approx. 30 seconds to show an effect.
