update issues

[raspberry79]

i do all the update, the retropie setup-script and the other update

When getting to the screen saying
(Would you like to update the underlying os packages (eg kernel etc)
Everytime it ask me that, it starts to update that, but at some point, it just stops/failing

@raspberry79 it’s probably not stoping. Some packages take awhile to uncompress and install. And from your end it looks like a frozen screen. Sometimes OS update could take an hour or more. Any reason you need to update the core os? Many times it’s not need to run the updated emulators and sometimes breaks things. I say if you have a working build, just leave it be,.

What's the actual error message when the update fails or stops ?

After reflashing the retropie onto the sd card, i try updating retropie to 2.8 and at some point it fails.

is there other formats to put the sd card in fat32 and ntfs

After reflashing the retropie onto the sd card .. and at some point it fails.

This looks like an under-voltage or sdcard error. You've not provided any info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, so I'm going to guess you may have a faulty power supply or you're overclocking the Pi ?

is there other formats to put the sd card in fat32 and ntfs

The format is not important, writing the RetroPie image on the sdcard will re-format the card automatically.

I never overclocked the pi 4 and it has a 64Gb sd card.
I have a power supply that is recommended for

I only had a RemotePi board and i have a heatsink with fan mounted.

First, as soon as i update to the newest version, i fetches the Retropie latest version. Then and i hit ok to update the newest version, I let that do its stuff. After that it then ask me about updating the kernel.

Update from what?
How and which version did you install first?
The Screenshot in your 1. Post says "version 4.6.4", so you are trying to update this old version?
