Reboot after updates just stopped. No spinning of indicator and no 
response. Only power to reboot.
Watch next boot, and it got to
dracut-initqueue with 3s/unlimited showing, but again never 
moved?
Tried older kernels, they did same thing.
Could boot to my G4L kernel, and it worked fine.
Checked the other partition, and the btrfs check and all came back 
as good.
Had a full disk image of the 1.8T disk from 2 days earlier, and 
other than the updates nothing really changed.
Restore the 160G disk image to the 1.8T disk, and booted fine.
Ran updates, and this time it rebooted fine. 

Did research and it came up a a btrfs issue linked to the firmware 
on the Crucial T500. Now the strange parts. Found ISO that is 
suppose to fix it.

 unzip -l T500-P8CR004-ISO.zip 
Archive:  T500-P8CR004-ISO.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----

---------                     -------
 26214400                     1 file

Extracted and copied to usb, but it would not boot. 
Worked with google ai and claude.ai trying all kinds of options, and 
validate it was a hybrid syslinux 4.05 setup, and had what should 
have worked. Others had reported issue as well. but got no where.

Eventual solution from google ai that worked. Extracted data 
within the ISO to actually get to the actual firmware files.

core_extracted/opt/firmware# ls -lR
.:
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 113 Sep  8  2024 firmware.properties
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root  10 Jul 17 22:28 P8CR004

./P8CR004:
total 2512
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 2572288 Sep  8  2024 1.bin

went thru a process that was able to update the firmware, so now 
have the latest firmware? 
/dev/nvme0n1          /dev/ng0n1            241047785F9C         
CT2000T500SSD8                           0x1          2.00  TB /   2.00  TB    
512   B +  0 B   P8CR004 

Seems the fwupdmgr could not upgrade the firmware since crucial 
isn't in that process?  This is what I now get. Believe before it was 
just showing CT500 so that has changed.

fwupdmgr update
Devices with the latest available firmware version:
 • System Firmware
 • UEFI CA
 • UEFI dbx
Devices with no available firmware updates:
 • Windows Production PCA
 • CT2000T500SSD8
 • KEK CA
 • Key Exchange Key
 • Option ROM UEFI CA
 • TPM
 • UEFI DB

So, got it fixed, but was a lot of steps. Not sure why they have an 
ISO that doesn't work. So, perhaps others might have similar setup.
Since it is a know problem and the updated firmware is suppose to 
fix it? Will have to see. Is a much faster device than older one.
unbuffered 1622.67 MB/sec compared to older one that was about 
500MB.
Dell Latitude 5580U without latest nvme so notebook is limiting 
issue.

Was an interesting issue.
