Did that. The change notice does not mention any hardware being dropped. Version 4.15.0-24 is a security and bug fix update. As mentioned, one of the computers was running 4.15.0-22 the other 4.15.0-23 before the update. They both work with version 4.15.0-24 installed but they 'freeze' during the boot process. No hard drive activity. As soon as I move the mouse hard drive hard drive led starts flashing, 2 secs later bootup finishes and things work normally. But thanks for your suggestion.
P.S. Hardware of both machines is 6 years old. Don't think linux drops support for hardware that quickly, at least that's my experience in 15 years of using linux.
