What brings a message? The Kindle? What message?

Did you try to reboot while holding the <Home> button pressed? Does the recovery menu pop up? (If so, bootloader and kernel+initramfs are fine and the root filesystem is likely the culprit.)

Otherwise, in the referenced thread I documented how I flashed a kernel. Likewise, I did also flash the root filesystem. And I don't see any difficulties for flashing the boot loader.
Windows gives me short message about an unregonized devece beeing conncted. First time I connected it I wrote it down, but lost the paper. Now it is done too fast. If I remember correctly it was the CPU being recognized (or at least it pointed me in the direction of an ARM chip)

Kindle got bricked over night, was not connecte to a computer but has the "disconnect from USB" screen.

And the USB to serial cable is the FTDI one with 1,8V

Will take a look at geekmasters link...somehow I missed it the past month I read the threads here
