Ive been trying to run a node on my ThinkPad with Debian installed on it for about a week. I keep getting all sorts of errors. I keep giving those errors to AI and it keeps giving me all sorts of solutions but then after some time another error pops up – this loop has been happening for a week and its so frustrating!

    Any advice on what to do to actually run your own node?

    Some of the errors that keep happening:
    Error: A fetal internal error occurred…Failed to connect best block (bad-txnmrklroot, hashMerkleRoot mismatch)
    Error: A fetal internal error occurred…Corrupt block found indicating potential hardware failure
    Error: A fetal internal error occurred…System error while flushing Fatal LevelDB error: Corruption: lock checksum mismatch…

    1. Since you’re asking for help with software errors, you might consider telling us the name of the software.

    2. Make sure it’s not sleeping during the IBD which could be corrupting the file system. I’ve never see problems like that and I’ve had several nodes of different types over the years, with two running right now.

      Looks like you somehow have a corrupted database.

      Delete everything and start over.

      If you keep on getting errors then your SSD is probably damaged.
