Today, I’ve tried to run an update and the rebuild keeps failing, I also removed all unofficial plugins, but I don’t know what to do further.
This is the error message
```plaintext
Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn'
exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"db_migrate", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'"]}
bootstrap failed with exit code 134

Below that error message is the text ` **FAILED TO BOOTSTRAP** please scroll up and look for earlier error messages, there may be more than one.`
So… please scroll up and look for earlier error messages.

Ouch.
Tell me more about this install. Is it a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true)? On what kind of hardware are you attempting to do this?

Initially, I tried to update the forum through the docker manager today’s update (there were eleven updates) I already updated to version 2.9.0 beta6 last Friday and the forum has been already up and running for three years now without an issue on the same server:
It is running on a dedicated server with these specs:
- AMD Opteron 4180
- 6 x 2,6 GHz
- 16 GB RAM
- 2 x 1 TB SSD
(Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)
EDIT: There’s more than enough space on the server.

I’m sorry, I’m stumped here, I hope someone else has a clue.

If it helps, I also found this warning:

Have you rebooted lately? Maybe you installed updates that require a reboot? I’d update the os and reboot next. (Because I have no actual ideas)

Yes, I did a reboot Friday, due to a kernel update, and I also tried it earlier this day to see if it could solve the issue.

Might not be a clue but I’ve seen the exact same error when installing a plugin. Now I’m not sure anymore if that plugin is the root cause.

Well, I uninstalled all unofficial plugins, but I will investigate further in that direction.

No, you’re getting a different error. You should scroll back to find the original error.

I really hope someone can help me. I’ve tried to clean the cache, remove container images and rebuilding with an older image and all result to the same error.

It would be much more useful for to paste the entire log rather than snippets from it.
For example, it’s unclear exactly what is abending; it might be the database or a rake task.
If it’s too long, feel free to post it gzipped. If you’re not sure how to scrub secrets from it (if any), you can PM it to me and I’ll see what I can find.

I am creating it right now.

The key part of the output appears to be this “Illegal instruction”:

The same “illegal instruction” is also present at the end of the Unicorn log (just before things broke).
(Hopefully Bryan can provide the full output as necessary).
