Scott, I tried the same things and got more or less the same result. The older drivers compile, but the machine crashes early in boot. If I remember correctly, this was the case all the way up to 364. Anything above, and I tried all the way up to 375, and it won't compile. I suspect the older drivers crash the system on boot because of the newer kernel on 16.04, which is 4.4 series while nvidia drivers version 364 lists kernel 4.1 and below in its support list. It is a good question why one compiles and another does not. This is one of the reasons why I circle around the notion that something did not get properly updated in the upgrade process build environment wise as it seems the pieces are there for an older driver to compile, but not for the newer one.
