The issue is still present with 4.4.0-42. It's completely preventing me from booting into Ubuntu. The error message is as follows:

lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
rootfs: clean, 271911/1831424 files, 1561286/7323648 blocks

Here, "rootfs" is my root filesystem (ext4), located on an LVM logical volume.

I also tried the following kernels (from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/) as well:
- v4.4.14-xenial (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.14-xenial/)
- v4.7.7 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7.7/)
- v4.8.1 (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.8.1/)

I installed these by booting a live cd and chrooting into the "rootfs" filesystem, and then updating grub.

The problem is still present in all of these kernels (with the slight variation that the error message is only shown briefly, and replaced by a blank screen)
