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.
