Philippe Clérié, while utilizing the WORKAROUND, please execute the following 
command only once, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a 
terminal:
apport-collect 1568211

** Summary changed:

- no UMS support in radeon module
+ Unable to boot

** Tags added: regression-release xenial

** Description changed:

  I upgraded overnight from Wily to Xenial. The system will not boot. Only
  a blank screen after grub loads the kernel.
  
  The recovery kernel loads fine and I was able to find the following
  messages:
  
  [drm] VGACON disable radeon kernel modesetting
  [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS support in radeon module!
  
  The recovery kernel command line had a nomodeset parameter that was not
  in the main kernel command line.
  
- Adding the nomodeset parameter the main kernel command line finally
- booted the system. It's kind of ugly but it seems to work.
- 
  Note: For what it's worth I reported a similar issue against several
  Utopic kernels (bug #1407505). There was a back and forth with
  jsalisbury until a kernel finally worked. I have had no problems until
  today.
  
- Hope that helps.
+ WORKAROUND: Adding the nomodeset parameter the main kernel command line
+ finally booted the system.
