What is "COM1"? :)

On linux you can specify the serial port by:

(gdb) target extended-remote /dev/ttyS0

In other words, you have to type this at the (gdb) command prompt. If you
select the target from within the Insight gui as Remote/Serial (or ARM
Serial), you'll see these packet errors on Linux too (at least I did).

I just found out how to do this today -- I'm finally moving my code to a 
real target... The way I found out how to do this was by:

(gdb) help target

With the arm-elf-gdb I have (Insight 5.2), there are several choices for 
serial ports. I tried them all until I found one that worked. Chances are 
there may be a better (or at least better preferred) way.
