In my case, it was one of the i386 systems that stopped working, but the really ancient system continued working. In your case IIRC it's an amd64 VM that has failed. I'm perplexed as to how a single kernel change would affect both of these systems and leave so many other hardware and VM combinations unscathed.

Of course I can't be sure if the kernel change itself has caused the
problem or if it is grub related. Too many things were changed in the
one big update that brought this on.
I found one other person having a similar problem over on the Debian
user forums: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=130252
Their solution was to update to an experimental 4.8 kernel.
I'm able to boot the machine to kernel 4.6.0 and keep moving.
So I guess I'll just wait and see.
Thanks for the support.
