I don't know if it is the right place to post that, but this kernel freezes GDM (Ubuntu Gnome Wily).
Hard reboot needed.
Intel integrated GPU, FYI.

Previous kernel version *.-14.16 works without noticeable issues (for me, as an end user).

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[volker kempter (v-kempter)]

at #2:
probably similar behaviour as reported in #2 when installing this kernel in lubuntu-15.04: boots normally, but mouse freezes immediately afterwords, then machine crashes.

Previous kernel version -13.15 works correctly.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 4.2.0-15.18
