The 3 3.16 kernel upgraded on the 26th of October (normally), then the
4.7 kernel was an "automatic" install.... no "Commandline:" entry?


It doesn't look like I manually chose to update, other than accepting
what was presented by perhaps "aptitude safe-upgrade -V" option.

Strange....

Kind Regards
