FYI, nvidia-367 works with kernel 4.4.0-43-generic. Might be an acceptable workaround for some people until this bug is fixed.
Rebuilding nvidia-367 using dpkg-reconfigure under kernel 4.4.0-45 didn't work for me. Neither did reinstalling it (probably not much of a different effect). Also wanted to mention that the initial symptom of this problem in the presence of full-disk encryption is that the boot fails very early, before it even asks for your FDE passphrase. It surprised me to find that the nvidia driver or some part of it is loaded that early. I thought by HDD had failed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638990 Title: nvidia-367 with kernel 4.4.0-45-generic won't boot Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 ~$ apt-cache policy linux-image-4.4.0.45-generic linux-image-4.4.0-45-generic: Installed: 4.4.0-45.66 Candidate: 4.4.0-45.66 Version table: *** 4.4.0-45.66 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status After hitting bug 1633172 and the workaround putting me in a worse state than the initial bug, I started from scratch with Xenial. That worked for a short 24 hours. Then this morning, I got an update for my nvidia drivers. After I upgraded the drivers, I could no longer boot into ubuntu with kernel 4.4.0-45-generic. If I booted with kernel 4.4.0-31-generic, I no longer had an issue.
