Getting packet (not package :-)) errors is normally fatal - it means your
downloaded program will have been corrupted.
Check the connections of your serial cable - does it work for other things?
For example, on the linux box, do:
cu -s 38400 -l /dev/ttyS0
or use "minicom" and type return a few times. You should see packets from
the remote GDB stub every time you do it, like:
$T0508:.....#ab
or similar.
Look at the PC target's screen - you should see the serial traffic being
displayed. If you don't, then it hasn't even got as far as that.
