Linux kernel 4.8.6 landed in Sparky “unstable” repository.
Due to compilation problem in the previous version, this time it is made with additional “CFLAGS -fno-pie” so the kernel works fine on amd64 and 686 compatible machines.
The Linux kernel is available in Sparky “unstable” repository, so enabled it to upgrade or make fresh installation:
