Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade?  Was there a
prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v4.3 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as
"Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  In Ubuntu 15.10, the vmlinuz-4.2.0-17-generic will not take password
  on splash screen

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I version-upgraded Ubuntu 15.04  in place to Ubuntu 15.10 on an HP workstation with a Intel Core i7 and 16GB RAM.  The HDD was previously in a different computer, and I have seen issues with the settings from the old machine fighting with the settings for current OS version.  The behaviour is as follows:
  When I log in with the 4.2.x kernel, the machine changes to a blank screen pauses for a moment and returns me to the login splash screen.
  I can log in normally if I use the 3.19.0-32-generic kernel.
  I can also change to TTY1 and log in at the command line with the 4.2.x kernel.
