  if the hardware is that old it may be having issues or a
cable connection is loose or something else.  that is what
can be tough about such a failure.  adding unstable to that
well, as they say, sometimes you get to keep all the parts
of what is broken.  :)

  i only run a few bits of unstable (firefox and a few 
other very isolated leaf packages) and always have another
partition on another device that will boot stable and also
yet another stable setup on a USB stick, besides the 
netinst image on a USB stick that will boot a rescue 
prompt if needed.  so far i haven't had to use them often
but when i've had to check something out or compare what
was going on in stable compared to testing it was a welcome
help.

  good luck!  :)
