I just tested the "blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau" and the
"nouveau.modeset=0" separately and both of them the machine booted off
the USB stick. I had a live image running 4.12 kernel so I will test
today's images (with 4.13 kernel) and report back.
Here is my dmidecode just in case anybody wants to confirm the type of
machine I am testing on especially that some of you couldn't boot it
with the above modeset mods to the kernel boot prompt.

Title:
Can't boot Artful 17.10 live images on XPS 15 (9560)
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I usually test Ubuntu beta releases. With Artful, I haven't been able
to boot the image on my XPS 15 (9560) Dell laptop because the boot
process stops half way.
The boot proceeds properly if I pass the "nomodeset" kernel boot
option but that won't work because there is no more hiDPI support and
dual display doesn't work.
This has been ongoing for several weeks, around the 4.12 kernel.
Please fix it. It would be a shame for this product not to boot Artful
out of the box.
