Headless Pi boot failure

[dillthedog]

There was a workaround to this provided yesterday (17 Aug):

Unable to access headless following 19.1 update

Try this: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/edid sudo touch /lib/firmware/edid/dummy.bin then edit /boot/cmdline.txt so it looks like this: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait quiet osmcdev=rbp2 drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/dummy.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D That will get you in. Kodi seems to running. I can’t get anything to play through Chorus2 but then I never could. I looked for a way for video to show up if you subsequently plug in HDMI but without success. Can’t believe RPi devs designe…

BTW, it worked for me. (I noticed the reference to DRM in the workaround.)

@sam_nazarko

This is a known issue with the upstream Raspberry Pi kernel

Can you provide a link to this?
