Would you be able to install Fedora 22 i686 on that system, update it with all the latest packages and then run the upgrade to F23 (using the dnf-plugin- system-upgrade from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildI D=685235 You will need dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.4.1- 1.fc22.noarch.rpm and python2-dnf-plugin-system-upgrade-0.4.1- 1.fc22.noarch.rpm) That will let us know if the upgrade would break on that system.
