When I try to boot with the kernel that NVIDIA was build on; the laptop locks up just before the GUI and you will hear the fans blowing and the only way around it is to power the laptop down. I have tried booting into that kernel with different kernel parameters; E.g. nomodeset rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau and even i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 and all options and combinations fails.

>USB drivers? Surprising and sounds quite the regression. This is of course why it's in testing and not released yet ;)
I'd be interested in the logs from that 4.3 boot and I'm sure the kernel devs will be too.
Or if it died before journalling went persistent a screenshot of an attorneys attempted 4.3 boot would be appreciated.

I will grab what I can for you and send it your way in a few hours; I noticed that the previous e-mail required moderated because of the length so I cut it down a bit:
