In this case Steve is trying to run an app (BOINC) which requires the proprietary OpenCL userspace driver, either from the old fglrx stack or the new amdgpu hybrid stack.
In the short term (until we extend amdgpu hybrid support back to SI) going back to a 14.04 LTS version would be best... in terms of still-supported-for-a-long-time versions that do not have 16.04 kernel/gfx would that be 14.04.1 ?
