4.1.0-040100-generic works 4.4.14-040414-generic works Didn't test others.
The boot sequence is different with the main line kernels. There is a black screen period with a couple of messages (1-2s), then the console font load, then it briefly switches to the splash, black screen flash back to the prior screen then the login prompt. There is no DPMS flash (the monitor displays a dialog for 1s when it is DPMS powered off) Whereas when, say, 4.2-ubuntu rarely randomly works, or with 3.19-ubuntu, it just stays at a black screen, briefly flashes a DPMS power off notification, and then goes to the login screen without showing the couple of messages. Sounds like an Ubuntu kernel bug? Obnoxiously all the console messages are not captured in the journal, that seems like another bug..

Booting the Xenial installer image off USB also worked fine. The system boots fine, however the monitor is in DPMS power-off and does not ever turn back on. Switching VTs doesn't help, I have found no way to get it switch on. Removing '$vt_handoff' from grub resolves the problem and the system seems to work fine.
