I'd like to perform a kernel bisect to figure out which commit caused
this regression. We need to identify the earliest kernel that did not
exhibit the bug and the first kernel that did exhibit the bug.

Can you test the following kernels and post back?

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt1-wily/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt2-wily/
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2.8-ckt3-wily/

You don't have to test every kernel, just up until the first kernel that
has this bug.

Thanks in advance!

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  Incomplete

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.
