Help Mojave to Catalina upgrade

[MichaelPope]

I have been running Mojave for a year now with no problems but a new app that I need for my home automation required a minimum of Catalina - so I tried to do the update following the direct update instructions here. That failed and I couldn't boot (machine kept resetting), so I tried to do the new installation instructions. I created the USB boot drive but I get to a certain point and it stops. Here is the verbose listing from Clover:

Does anyone have any ideas of what I need to look at to get this thing running on Catalina?
