Hi there.

Having played with this a bit more, each time you update the kernel it seems to boot ok, but the only rarely.  Does that tell us anything.

The first error after the i915 errors begins failed to start volatile files...

Subsequent errors include 'Failed to start install and generate colour profiles.

Does that tell you anything?

16.04LTS is still rock solid.
