   in both cases the crash happened at exactly the same place in the same   
   upgrade   
      
   I discovered a few more points: That upgrade problem is not unique to   
   me. In most cases people who did that upgrade and had a problem suffered   
   a complete loss of the /boot/firmware directory.   
      
   I haven't got chapter and verse but the common factor  seems to be   
   upgrading from a previous version to the Dec 2023 version using apt-get   
   upgrade..   
      
   I discovered why my December 2023 version didn't install, as well. It   
   was corrupted somehow. It wouldn't mount. I re-downloaded it,   
   re-installed it and that finally did boot, but there were strange file   
   and  read errors when I attached the *second* disk to the system. But a   
   reboot cured *that*.   
      
   The system upgraded perfectly well once the new OS image was installed.   
      
   Perhaps the power supply is inadequate?   
   I don't know   
      
   At the moment I have rebuilt to about the same point the development   
   system was when it bricked   
      
   I've checked the disks with smartctl and there are no errors logged.   
      
   So the problem would seem to be with the pi itself or the OS. or some   
   other part of the hardware.
