Middleware not working

[BoulderItalyc]

This was a new install or an upgrade?

Middleware service not starting

ongoing problem before ee . job middlewared.service/ start running. middlewared: setting up plugins (audit) [47/111]. then it runs for about 7 minutes then goes to middleware not running press enter. Any help would be appreciated to restart from cli screen . If i go back to 24.0 it loads and if i do a fresh install. this been driving me crazy.

For upgrades it seems to be related to large audit logs in 24.x. May or may not be the same for 25.x
