If you have a separate boot drive, you should be able to install zfsutils-linux. Worst case, disconnect the ZFS drives.
If necessary, disable the zfs-import-scan and zfs-import-cache services. You should reach a point where you can boot, and zfsutils-linux is installed, and the ZFS drives are connected, but the pool is not imported. Then, import the pool without mounting anything: sudo zpool import -N POOLNAME -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to zfs-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628553 Title: Ubuntu 16.04.1 Install zfsutils-linux Panic Error, endless loop Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.1, installed all updates / upgrades for system before installing zfsutils-linux. The install processes all the way to Reached target Swap then has a PANIC error and loops endlessly. There is a zpool there already (was) with 3TB of data on it.
