Migration Assistant Hangs repeatedly
I have a new MacBook Pro that I am trying to set up from a 2018 MBP (which I'm getting rid of because of the keyboard), using the Migration Assistant.
I have tried three times, and it has hung every time. I tried the first two time with wifi, and the third with ethernet. Each time the transfer seems to hang with a bit more than an hour to go.
I was hoping to use the Time Machine, but I can't get my backup to complete (I get into "Preparing backup..." and it hangs). I can probably go with my two day old backup from Time Machine, but I hate to do that if I don't absolutely have to, since I don't have any easy way to guess what I'm losing.
Is there anything I can look for in the console, or anything like that to try to figure out why this is happening?
