No HDMI output after update_all

Hi, today I did an update_all, and afterwards I have no HDMI output. The Mister boots and I can access it through SSH and can access the SD card through SMB on my network, but there is nothing at all from the HDMI port (no flashes, etc)
I re-imaged a new SD card and it works correctly, although it is a basic, stock setup. HDMI is fine.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to troubleshoot what happened to the original SD card?

Is it no output, or a black screen?

Thanks, the link helped to get it working. I had to delete the original linux directory and copy over a new linux directory and menu.rbf file from the archive before it worked.
[Edit] The problem came back the next time I did a hard reboot. I fixed the card the same way I did before, but added the downloader script to the Scripts directory. I ran the downloader script on the next boot, right after I set up the Wifi. It seems to be stable after reboots now.
I was not getting any HDMI signal; it was as if the cable was unplugged.

The MiSTer Downloader script, it is a substitute for the update_all script.

You can get it at

I copied the downloader.sh script to /Scripts and ran it from the MiSTer UI. My MiSTer is working perfectly now.

Is this a direct replacement for update_all or the standard update that is to be run?
