For what it's worth, the 4.6.0 kernel from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/> appears to work perfectly in conjunction with the "nouveau.modeset=0" boot parameter. I haven't encountered any bootup hangs with this combination, no issues with the fan, nor any apparent loss of functionality. [NOTE: I have not re-tested any of the previous kernels with this parameter]
For the time being I've simply added the setting to /etc/default/grub (see below), followed by running "sudo update-grub". $ grep nouveau /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nouveau.modeset=0 quiet splash" I'll let you know if any side effects arise, but I've rebooted about 6-8 times so far and everything appears to be rock solid. :) -- 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/1575437 Title: Asus ZenBook UX501VW frequently hangs during boot under Ubuntu 16.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: A fresh install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 on an Asus ZenBook UX501VW hangs during boot, approximately 80% to 90% of the time... occasionally it manages to complete the startup for no discrenable reason, at which point the fan will run at full speed nonstop (very loud) until the machine is powered down. Due to the information from <https://marclewis.com/2016/04/25/installing-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-asus- zenbook-ux501vw/>, I installed the wily 4.3.5 kernel (replacing 4.4.0) from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3.5-wily/>, which appears to work perfectly... no bootup hangs or odd fan behaviour The hang occurs shortly after providing the disk decryption key (I opted for full-disk encryption during installation). The issue occurs frequently when booting Ubuntu Gnome from a flash drive using "try before installation" mode, however, so I'm confident that it's not actually encryption related. I am *not* using any proprietary drivers (no nvidia, etc.).
