I'm having the same problem with my Dell Inspiron 15z.  It won't boot
after upgrading from 15.04 to 15.10.  It halts with

dell_smm_hwmon: unable to get SMM Dell Signature

at regular bootup.

When I select  recovery mode from the GRUB menu I can get to a root
prompt.  None of the other recovery options work.  I can do a

mount -o rw,remount /dev/sda5

And that works fine.  But any attempt to start networking or almost
anything results in something about a dell_smm_hwmon error and the
system hangs hard.  Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z, and Ctrl-Alt-Del all do nothing.

I cannot seem to determine which package this is regarding.  The kernel?
Some dell-based module?  I've looked online and see nothing.

Wouldn't mind getting a work-around so the system will function again...
