I upgraded last year my 10y old Geode with 256MB RAM from wheezy to jessie to stretch. As this Geode machine is 586 with a strange hd controller, I had to compiled and build the kernel package on stretch in chroot on a fat x86_64 machine - installed the package on the Geode one without an issue. I upgraded the kernel twice since then following same procedure - it takes just 15min to compile install and reboot. It took me however a whole eternity to find the right combination for the HDD controller and this was the blocker for a long time, so after I had the new kernel the upgrade was painless - except I left old grub as it can somehow not handle grub2. However I am not sure whats the status of your machines, Gene - you post very often bizarre issues. I think you are simply missing how good debian become since wheezy. regards
