Hi Nikolaus ,
i tried the steps again, using my SD which cotains uImage and minifs.img.
But still no F3 Recovery menu :-(
do you think, using 'dd' to copy the minifs.img to /dev/mtd3 from my SD -
debian (lenny) ?
I mounted the /dev/mtdblock3 and checked the content. But ls -la shows only
lost+found and "df -k" show 100% usage .
But maybe this device is not readable using normal mount (who knows)
Thank you
... Wolfgang

first of all, thank you for the great work trying to solve this issue .
But sorry to ask you again for some support in recovering the letux400.
Somehow it seems that i am not able to recover the minifs.
One question is: how do i know that flashing the minifs.img was successfull?
Unfortunately there appears to be no feedback. It could be on the RS232
console,but the Letux 400 does not even have the connector.It looks like
flashing the kernel was successful -> i am getting now the V66 kernel picture
when powering on .
But sadly 'F3' still does not work. Did i miss something?
Here are the steps i did :
- copy the uImage to an VFAT SD card
- power on the letux with fn-lsh-lctrl
- after a view seconds i a get the new kernel picture on the screen (displays
V66)
- power off
- copy minifs.img on the SD (prev. i removed the uImage file - so only
minifs.img is on the SD)
- press fn-lsh-rsh and power on
- again after some seconds the kernel start picture appears
-> i then pressed F3 but nothing happened
- power off
- pressed (hold) F3 and powered on
-> kernel picture appears but even after waiting a while no recovery menu
comes up :-S
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...Did i missed something?One note, the F3 could need approx. 30 seconds
to show an effect.Thank you very much!

Betreff: Re: [Mipsbook-devel] Recovery image/procedure for the Letux 400Finally,
I have got all the required files and procedures
to restore the Letux 400 to the factory settings:
* Kernel 2.4 v66 (showing the Enjoy! message)
* Minifs 1.20
* normal recovery file
All files and a short README are available here:
http://download.goldelico.com/letux-400-jtag/
It worked on two machines for me - the third one
appears to have a broken U-Boot and needs the
JTAG treatment...
Please let me know if it works for you.
Nikolaus
