now I get:

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
1e:2d:4f:9a:3d:d2:68:72:f5:03:ad:ce:7c:4d:aa:af.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for 192.168.15.244 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.

what can I do to resolve this issue ?
The error message tells you how to fix it. It says: "Add correct host key in /root/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message."

I have multiple kindles that use 192.168.15.244, and they have different RSA keys. Changing the key in the known_hosts file just makes the problem come back when you plug in a different kindle using that IP address. You could copy the RSA private key inside the kindles to the other kindles so they all match. Or you could do like I did and replace the known_hosts file on my host PC with a symlink to /dev/null. Now when I SSH in it just has a one line notice that it is "permanently" adding a new key (to /dev/null).
