Bug#809203: linux-image-586 4.3+70 installs a 4.3.3 kernel for 686 only, which doesn't boot on 586
Package: linux-image-586
Version: 4.3+70
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I'm running Debian on an old AMD K6-III system, which went fine up to
kernel 4.2.6. After upgrading to 4.3.3, I only have a i686-capable
kernel, which doesn't run on this system anymore.
I needed to select the older kernel to make the system boot again.
