[U-Boot-Users] U-Boot/Kermit Problem

I am facing a problem in loading a binary file from minicom.
Whenver I try to load, it is going in an infinite loop.

=> loadb 100000
## Ready for binary (kermit) download to 0x00100000 at 9600 bps...


I configured kermit as told in the DULG/SystemSetup Manual....
Only change I made is 

set speed 9600 instead of 115200

I am getting stuck here. After going through the u-boot source code ....
The calling sequence is ....

-load_serial_bin
-k_recv

Inside k_recv the code where I stucked up here is ...

----------------------------ACTUAL CODE-----------------------------------
                /* get a packet */
                /* wait for the starting character or ^C */
                for (;;) {
                        switch (serial_getc ()) {
                        case START_CHAR:   /* start packet */
                                goto START;
                        case ETX_CHAR:  /* ^C waiting for packet*/
                                return (0);
                        default:
                                ;
                        }
                }
----------------------------ACTUAL CODE UP TO HERE------------------------

I think it continiously in the for loop.
When I press control-C then it will come comeout saying ....

## Total Size      = 0x00000000 = 0 Bytes
## Start Addr      = 0x00100000

Can anyabody help me why it is happening ?
Any help will be appreciated.

-regards,
