Confirmed! I am able to install this kernel and reboot my system
correctly into Gnome.

jkrause@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.2.0-30-generic #35+lp1548587~kamal2 SMP Wed Feb 24 17:26:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Versions: 15.10 & 14.04
VMWare Fusion: 8.1.0 (3272237)
Mac OS: 10.10.5

However, I am experiencing a new issue now. Upon first reboot, VMWare
resized my host OS window to 8000x3200. This happened with both 15.10
and 14.04.

15.10 had the latest Open VM Tools installed and 14.04 had NO version of
Open VM Tools or proprietary VMWare Tools. It seems like this kernel
build disregarded my previously set resolution.

In both cases, I was able to change my resolution back to its correct
value and reboot with no issues.

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Wily:
  In Progress

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.
