kernel_emergency usage with latest firmware binaries (18th April)

[Hexxeh]

Using the emergency kernel image with the latest firmware binaries results in corrupted graphical output for me.

I can get display out using the normal image by setting hdmi_mode=4, hdmi_drive=2, hdmi_force_hotplug=1, but those don't fix the display using the emergency kernel.

Is the emergency kernel just outdated compared to the firmware files?

I wouldn't expect the kernel version to affect HDMI output (the hdmi_* options are processed by start.elf).

Can you clarify:
Do you get no HDMI output without a config.txt file? If so, then please post an edid dump
(#4 for instructions)
Are you saying "hdmi_mode=4, hdmi_drive=2, hdmi_force_hotplug=1" gives an image with kernel.img, but corrupt image with "kernel_emergency.img" (and no other changes) ?
Can you link to a photo of the corrupt display?

I've not been able to reproduce this since, so maybe my SD card was being very dodgy. Closing for now, I'll reopen if I can reproduce this.
