4.9.19 gets kernel panic on Pi Zero (original model)

[DougieLawson]

Hexxeh/rpi-firmware@edd3e6c starts to boot on my original model Zero, gets lots of services starting messages but then the screen turns to a cross hatched pattern and the system dies.

Booting to a console there's a kernel panic but not enough details emerge before the system locks up solid to even bother taking a photo.

Currently rolling back to Hexxeh/rpi-firmware@4156144

config.txt has

Similar issue with my Pi Zero v1.3. Don't have a display connected. Checking the card on a Pi 3B and it runs OK. config.txt file only has dtparam=audio=on enabled.

After trying on the Pi Zero I checked the log files using a card reader on the Pi 3B and it looks as though no log files were created/updated when booting on the Pi Zero.

Same update working OK on my other Pi's, Pi Zero W, Pi 1 B 512MB, B+, 2B and 3B.

I see the same problem with the latest firmware on a Zero 1.3, but reverting just bootcode.bin to the previous version from Mar 22nd works for me.

I've narrowed the problem down to a single commit, which is reverted in this bootcode.bin.

Fix pushed to rpi-update firmware.

Thank you @pelwell & @popcornmix for a very quick fix.
