There doesn't seem to be a problem here - RedBoot and minicom are
communicating - data is being downloaded, albeit with retries.
Eventually, the data will get downloaded.  If there were other 
problems, then RedBoot would stop accepting data and the "kbytes sent"
value would not be increasing.

My guess is that your target is rather slow and can't keep up 
with Y-modem at the baud rate you are running. Try X-modem which
will use smaller blocks by default.
