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.

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

     apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

     Reboot after above commands.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

     System went into reboot loop.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

     System should have rebooted into working state.

You'll need to stick with jessie as it is not planned to support such
old processors in stretch.
