The kernel version is linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae and 3.16.7-ckt7-1
is the Debian package version tacked on the end, so on my i386
the deb is called linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-pae_3.16.7-ckt7-1_i386.deb

https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2014/11/msg00154.html
explains why 3.16-kernel packages have ckt in the package version name.

The "486" version was probably a 586 version, which is for PCs lacking
PAE. Apparently the fact that the "486" version wouldn't actually run
on a real 486 was not noticed for somewhile after the relevant
improvement was made.

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep pae
should indicate if 686-pae versions would be suitable.

Sorry not to be any help with the fuse problem.

Cheers,
David.
