Damn!! I nearly got it!!! For a short time I had a working kindle.

Problem: Fastboot not working and lsusb not showing the device
Soltution: Replug USB

With working fastboot I flashed these images:
http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/PW2/

Had to extract the .gz-files to get .bin-files and flash them with fastboot.

Code:
./fastboot flash system mmcblk0p1.bin
./fastboot flash kernel main_kernel.img
./fastboot flash diags mmcblk0p2.bin
./fastboot flash diags_kernel diags_kernel.img
Now, i was able to boot into diags and mount the kindle as USB storage. Then I copied mmcblk0p1.bin.gz to the root folder. After then I went back to "Exit Login prompt" and logged in as root. There I run this commands as described here: http://ixtab.tk/kindle-touch-images/README.txt

Code:
zcat /mnt/us/kt_5.1.2-kernel_main.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4096 seek=65
idme -d --bootmode main
reboot
Et voilá, I had a working kindle.

BUT...

After a while it restarted and updated itself and then the error message reappeared again :-(((

I repeated the previous steps with no success.
I also tried:
Code:
echo 0 > /var/local/upstart/lab126_gui.restarts
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0p3 bs=4K count=1K
EDIT:
I got it fixed again, by first flashing the PW-1 images to it, restart it, and then flashing the PW-2 images again and restart.

Then it works, but after a while it again reboots itself, starts auto-updating and the message appears again.
