unRAID 6.8.3 won't boot - freezing at rsyslogd daemon

[akme1245]

the server has been acting up a bit lately.  I assumed it was because of some plugins I installed, so I removed them.  It crashed last night and now I'm at the point where it won't boot.  It freezes on "starting rsyslogd daemon".   I'll attach a picture.  I've tried formatting the USB drive and copying my "config" folder back onto the formatted drive.  Saw that mentioned somewhere in the forum, but it didn't work for me.  I did grab a diagnostic yesterday, but I'm not sure if that will do anyone any good. 

 

I haven't changed any parts.  and I've just tried a different USB flash drive and that didn't change anything. and booting to safe mode, it still hangs in the same spot.

might be getting somewhere.  I created a new usb key with the creator, and unraid will boot (didn't add my config folder).  I ran diagnostics from the webUI when it did boot.  Then I powered it down, and it froze during shutdown.  It automatically created a diagnostic file during shutdown.

 

I have included the diagnostic after it booted.  Two pictures of the screen during shutdown.  And the diagnostic file that was on the usb drive after I had to kill the power.  It hung on "/boot: target is busy"

i think my Rocket 750 is dying or is dead.  when I pulled it out, it booted up faster than it has in a while
