Comment 7 for bug 1656155

@V: Did you upgrade to 16.10, or did you do a fresh install? Check what kernel version you ended up with. If less than 4.6, get a fresh install image of 16.10 with kernel 4.8 (or else follow a recipe for upgrading your kernel).

Avoid the bug by choosing a command line boot level (stay out of the GUI) or using ssh to login from a different machine.

That's all I have. Being a user-space kind of guy, I'll defer to anyone who overrides anything I've said.

I'm still rock-stable since achieving kernel 4.8. Somebody else might have something to say about choosing the right install options. There was a 3rd-party option that I said yes to, and it was associated with a log message about Intel drivers later on.
