kgdb errors with serial console

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
        I'm getting the following errors when attempting to use kgdb with the serial console. Any idea how I can resolve this issue? 

The correct serial parameters when I use kermit with the target board is 

set flow-control off
set carrier-watch none
set speed 115200

and it connects correctly.

I'm not sure if the gdb configuration commands for the serial port are sufficient, and if there is a parameter that I am missing here. The host is connected to the target using an FTDI USB to serial converter, so it appears as /dev/ttyUSB0 on the host and as ttyS2 on the target.
