It looks like your config.txt contains some syntax error. Would you please look into the config.txt and inspect the line with DisableMSIAmonitor?
The error message says, there is a ":" missing.

[RainbowMiner]

Could you please upload your config.txt (please remove the secret API keys) - do you have more than one config.txt, e.g. for clients in subfolders?

[Yamanipanuchi]

config.txt

[Yamanipanuchi]

Yes, I have other Configs.

[Yamanipanuchi]

I checked all of them, DisableMSIAmonitor is the same in each one.

[RainbowMiner]

Was this a single version step update?
v4.6.4.8 -> v4.6.4.9

And, which Powershell version are you using?

[RainbowMiner]

Could you also please upload the current .\Logs\RainbowMiner_2020-11-16.txt ? This is a pretty strange issue.

[Yamanipanuchi]

It was a single step.

I do see some of my other rigs upgraded with no issue. So I may be an isolated issue. Just want to make sure you have the info quickly though.

[RainbowMiner]

How weird! It really seems to have a problem with the config.txt parsing, for whatever reason. I'll quickly setup a linux test system and give your config a shot.
What you could do, is to upgrade Powershell to v7.0.3. I'll add an upgrade script later. But these are the steps:

wget https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases/download/v7.0.3/powershell-7.0.3-linux-x64.tar.gz -O /tmp/powershell.tar.gz
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/pwsh
sudo mkdir -p /opt/microsoft/powershell/7
sudo tar zxf /tmp/powershell.tar.gz -C /opt/microsoft/powershell/7
sudo chmod +x /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh
sudo ln -s /opt/microsoft/powershell/7/pwsh /usr/bin/pwsh
sudo rm -rf /tmp/powershell.tar.gz

[Yamanipanuchi]

Cool, Ya I followed your steps there.. Upgraded. Of course I tried it just in case. Same outcome.

[RainbowMiner]

Ok, could you please now upload all other config.txt in all subdirectories of ./Config ?
Explanation: the parser reads through all subdirectories and looks, if it can find another config.txt.

[Yamanipanuchi]

Got it. I slowly removed each sub config until the script ran. That lead me to the config that was bad and sure enough there was a typo in one.

[RainbowMiner]

Very good :) I have updated the error checking for that parser at startup. Now you will see a warning message, but the system will still start.
