If there is no checkmark next to the device, then the fastboot program in the VM cannot see the device. You need to click on it to turn the checkbox on or off. If you cannot do that, perhaps your VirtualBox settings need to be adjusted. It *should* work. It works for me.

Another option is to put fastboot on a usb stick, then boot from a LiveCD linux distro, and run fastboot from the usb stick. Some of those distros need the USB devices plugged in before you start them, or you have to tell them to scan for new devices. They are not all plug-and-play. Personally, I like Puppy Linux for a standalone boot CD (small, runs in RAM, and fast).
I finally got this bloody checkmark
Now I'm charging Kindle to try to flash diags partition.
But here is another problem - I can only charge it using USB and after about an hour of charging it works for about 1 minute.
