[Right now I'm running a kernel with both RJlov's patch and your IR hack. I have initiated a soft reboot a couple times and have not gotten the garbage screen. I have not used Tony's editor to send a custom image to the player. I'll try that out a little later and see if anything changes.

Remember that a simple "r" sent to the player doesn't induce the problem for me. I only get the problem when my flash-uploader utility sends the "r" immediately after the flash upgrade. This may have something to do with it, but I don't know.

(Yes, I've tried inserting a pause after the flashing, it doesn't change the results.)
