Upgrades continuously failing at different spots.

[davegod75]

I tried to update to 26.7.2_2 from 26.7.1 but it hard failed so I had to reinstall 26.7. 

Once installed I tried another upgrade and it hard failed again at a different spot (earlier)

I'm beginning to wonder if I have a hardware problem.

Two ss below of where it failed.  Any thoughts would be welcome

I don't see a failure in your first image. The second one is not visible.

sorry, 2nd link fixed.

The 1st picture is where is hangs.

I have a very very vanilla install. the only stuff I change is the default DNS to cloudflare and i use 3 blocklists via unbound.

Your storage or your memory is dying.

"Read only file system" is weird. It's likely causing all your trouble, but no idea what triggers it.

failing SSD?  It was a fresh install.

Some SSDs are going into read only mode before they completely die. Thats basically last chance to backup your data before it completely stops working.

interesting, just swapped it out and reinstalling.

Ugh, failing with a hd just swapped in, maybe bad memory?  What's weird is I can re-install just fine, but it updates fail.  hmm

Is this one of the fancy N100ish boxes that need microcode updates perhaps?

Yep, it's an asrock n100m board, running bios 1.10.  I see an update that says microcode and memory compatibility. https://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N100M/index.asp#BIOS

But a memtest86+ overnight also produced this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7ErMivVG8Rx1cbe67

There you go. Your memory is dead. I hope its not DDR5 because thats worth more than gold today.

Luckily full size DDR4.  Only the 2nd time in my life for a memory failure...annoying frustrating to nail down as its so random.
