At a guess there's junk on the line that prevents RedBoot seeing the start
of the packet. Before connecting with GDB, use minicom or similar and press
return a few times. Then "quit without reset" without typing anything more
(including not letting minicom send any modem commands) and connect with
GDB.
Or update your anoncvs to the current which has a fix for this.
