[V'ger <vigor28@xxxxxxxxx>]

when upgrading from 12.04.5 LTS to 14.04 after successful install you must reboot and there is a blank screen on VMware 5.5.0 enterprise (Vcenter server 5.5.0).
VM hangs and only solution is to revert to snapshot (if any :D) regardless open-vm-tools or Vmware tools in use (installed).

Tried on total of 4 different VM

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.
