In further testing, I found that I am able to boot into X11/Gnome3 if I
revert to booting Linux kernel 4.9.0-*3*-amd64. I will continue with
4.9.0-3-amd64 until the next amd64-related update.
I am an intermediate user with no programming knowledge, but somewhat
familiar with the command line and file paths. Please feel free to send
instructions for extracting additional diagnostic information as needed.
I'm also willing to install additional debug tools as required. Thanks for
your attention.
Attachment: If helpful, full hardware list for my notebook, an obscure HP
model sold to college engineering schools, probably with older components
than the commercial models.
