I have followed the information that jyavenard has posted. In the error log, I have the follow entry for the update

091126:001143 system: E _otaupexec:def:checksum failure on image "update data 327610024-kernel"

Doing a google search, this does not provide any useful hits. I am hoping someone in this forum could shed some light on this.

I have also contacted amazon help support, but they have not been any help so far. If any other information needs to be provided, let me know, and I will be more than willing to get you information as quickly as possible.
This one is puzzling....
I would try to re-download the original 2.3 firmware... Because the issue is one of the update within the package has an incorrect checksum... Sounds like Amazon screwed up one of the incremental image...

What version is your Kindle running ?
If it's running an old version like 2.0.1 ; you could try first upgrading to 2.0.3 first ; then 2.3
I have a 2.0.3 here ; I put it there just in case you can't find it:
