    I have been able to solve the problem.

     

    After 2 days of waiting and based on the suggestion of folks I rebooted the device. That didnot solve the problem but it did not do the root FS checking. So that was good. I turned it off and this time started on the boot menu (pressing the reset button and turning on the power switch: you can see the instruction to get to the boot menu in the documentation) and reinstalled the OS. That reinstall fixed the problem. I have now upgraded to 6.9.0 and all is well.

     

    Thanks to all
