What firmware version for 'main', what firmware version for 'diags'?

How do you know that it is not booting to diags?

How are you accessing the command line?

Thank you for the quick reply.

firmware version for 'main' is 5.9.2.0.1
rescue pack from Snapshots of NiLuJe's hacks. but I think it is not installed or install failed
Kindle is jailbroken and installed USBnet
accessing the command line via ssh
After I executed the previous command I reboot my kindle
and kindle stuck on the 'tree' screen that says 'Please wait a moment while ... starts up'

Can you access USB storage?
even if for only a second or two during boot-up.

You will need serial port access to fix the problem.
or even to see what is going on (by the system messages present on the serial port).
