[Bug 1580311] [NEW] Kernel hangs at boot with modesettings

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Hi,

Since updating to 16.04 with kernel vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic my laptop
no longer completes the boot sequence under a normal boot scenario - the
"loading initrd..." message is displayed, then, when the VGA modesetting
usually kicks the display into a higher resolution, the screen blanks
and the startup apparently halts. This is a regression from 4.2 series
kernels. I can successfully bring up the system if I revert to 4.2.0-35,
and also if I boot  4.4 with the failsafe setting (but then X is
painfully slow, as its using software)

Matt
