I'm experiencing this same issue.

After running Ubuntu Gnome's Software Updater and rebooting this
morning, the OS would no longer boot. Holding shift during boot and
picking an older kernel (4.2.0-27-generic) allows the OS to boot.
Picking 4.2.0-30-generic on boot reproduces the problem again.

As a test, I performed a fresh installation of Ubuntu Gnome 15.10. It
booted fine using 4.2.0-16, but after updating to 4.2.0-30-generic again
it stopped booting.

Using VMware Workstation Pro version 12.1.0 build-3272444 on Windows 7
Enterprise SP 1 64-bit.

FWIW, as a workaround, I've used Grub Customizer and chose 4.2.0-27 as
my default kernel for now.

Title:
  Ubuntu 15.10 VMWare guest won't show UI after upgrading to 4.2.0-30

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit as a guest VM in
  VMWare Workstation 12.1.0.

  After installation, I am able to log into the system. I then ran the
  updater application to install the latest updates.

  After installing the updates and restarting, the system no longer
  shows any UI after booting. I am now faced with a black screen and a
  dash that does not blink. The system also does not respond to any
  inputs.

  I was able to get back into my system by holding shift to show the
  GRUB menu and boot using the 4.2.16 kernel.
