The latter means that you still have 4.4.0-143 around and could select that if you had any way of interfacing with the booting server. So you could go back and confirm the regression happened between 143 and 145.

About IPMI, I don't know how one would do that with Windows, but using a Linux box, there is a package (name in Ubuntu, might vary on other distros) called ipmitool which can be used to do the SOL session without any java and from a terminal window. Of course in any case to see anything you have to figure out which ttyS# on the server is mapped to the SOL session (ttyS0 or ttyS1 usually). And then something like "console=ttyS#,115200n8" has to be added to the default arguments in /etc/default/grub to tell the kernel to re-direct the console to that serial port.

just for completeness the command to initial a SOL session would be:
ipmitool -Ilanplus -H<ip/name of ipmi interface> -U<ipmi user> -P<ipmi password> sol activate
