dmesg shows what looks like quite a mess. I' don't know what it might
mean, perhaps someone here has seen it before or understands what it
means?

Sorry to be so dense here but:
Apparently it is a little more going on in those lines above. I don't
see anything on the page you cite with names like: 3.16.7-ckt4-3
3.16.7-ckt7-1
searching with `aptitudue search ckt7' (or ckt4) finds nothing at all.
What is the meaning of the names with ckt in them?
I suspect I could/should be running i686 with pae. Not sure why the
installer choose a 486 kernel originally ... (it changed to 586 during a
full-upgrade a mnth or two ago)
The jessie OS here is running as vbox guest on a 2x Xeon on HP xw8600
Would it be likely to solve any of this if I upgraded to a 686 pae
kernel? Or more likely to make the mess worse and I should get the
fuse mess cleared up first?
