RE comment #10 and my own comment #9: I tried again and can confirm that nomodeset works with kernel 4.4.0-47 and nvidia-367.57.
System boots into xorg with the nvidia drivers in use and working completely. My mistake was that I had left the following line in /etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" So this is what it needs to look like: #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" #GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638990 Title: nvidia-367 with kernel 4.4.0-45-generic won't boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 ~$ apt-cache policy linux-image-4.4.0.45-generic linux-image-4.4.0-45-generic: Installed: 4.4.0-45.66 Candidate: 4.4.0-45.66 Version table: *** 4.4.0-45.66 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status After hitting bug 1633172 and the workaround putting me in a worse state than the initial bug, I started from scratch with Xenial. That worked for a short 24 hours. Then this morning, I got an update for my nvidia drivers. After I upgraded the drivers, I could no longer boot into ubuntu with kernel 4.4.0-45-generic. If I booted with kernel 4.4.0-31-generic, I no longer had an issue.
