I've been posting this a bunch: set the system time to the current time, it will get stuck if the time isn't right. Sounds ridiculous, but it's true. I rebooted 20+ times on an old system installing 26.04 trying to figure out what was wrong.

Since your cmos has died, it's very likely you haven't set the time.
