K3 using serial port problem

Hello, This is my first post and hopefully someone can help me with my problem. I bought a couple of broken Kindle's B006 and B008's to just play around with. I have managed to brick one of the units and have a working serial port working with linux and Minicom 2.5. I can watch the boot process in my computer terminal and can interrupt the boot and see the U-boot prompt. If I just let the Kindle boot-up, it goes to: Starting Kernel.... Uncompressing Linux but, I am unable to see any more text after the uncompressing .............. I never see the "Welcome to Kindle" screen. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in Advance,
