If I look in /var/log/messages, I see:

Any thoughts on what's going on, or how I might be able to upgrade this machine again?

Thanks,

Do you get any errors if you save your config, install the latest STABLE (to that or another stick), and restore your config?

make sure the location of the missing file is writeable.
touch the SEQUENCE file listed
run the upgrade again
