See my other comments in the same thread on Salsa. This should be made more explicit. Merely stating "something with NOPL" really won't help anyone who isn't familiar with the intricacies of x86 variants. If the expected baseline nowadays is hardware that can run the -686-pae kernel, it should be explicitly stated in the release notes. I'm not sure of whether there is any way to grep /proc/cpuinfo to check whether a host meets the minimal requirement for Bookwormor not, let alone which package should perform that check, before allowing a dist-upgrade, but this definitely needs to be implemented now before Bookworm is released. Anyhow, given the baseline bump, it appears that the last of the Geode processors is no longer supported on i386 (even though -686 is configured for MGEODE and stil ships with Bookworm). Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Martin-Éric
