Not sure what else you could tell without connecting to the serial port and reading the kernel messages.

Thanks for reply.
By now I enabled COM-port on my motherboard and checked that it's ok using Hyper Terminal by sending some AT commands to my old com-port modem.
I cut a very old cellphone cable (RS232-to-TTL) and connected it to the kindle pins. I don't know whether I should connect Tx to Rx or Rx to Rx, etc. because I don't know if the schemes of kindle and my old cellphone are device-side or cable-side oriented, so I tried both.
Holding power switch for 30 sec, then pressing volume "-" makes no sense to com port output. But sometimes when I disconnect the wires and connect them again some meaningless symbols appear in the terminal, or even a lot of them run endlessly.
What am I doing wrong?
