Public bug reported:

On my Asus EeePC 1015PED netbook, running Ubuntu 16.04LTS, I updated to kernel 
4.4.0.145 on 3 April 2019.
On the first boot after the update, I got the usual grub screen, then "Loading 
Linux 4.4.0.145 ... Loading initial ramdisk ..." then the screen went black 
with no mouse pointer or invite.
I could hear disk activity ( & see the disk-activity light) then the usual 
drumroll for login, but the screen stayed black.
I escaped using REISUO & retried several times with the same result.
If I wait for the login drumroll then input my login, there is more disk 
activity (setting up the desktop) but the screen stays black.
So the PC is not freezing, just no screen.
Trying Ctrl+Alt+F1 (or other F keys) produces nothing.

I can continue to use the PC normally if I select the previous kernel
4.4.0.142 at the grub screen.

On 10 June 2019, I updated to kernel 4.4.0.150 & have the same black
screen as with .145.

So I am unable to use this PC AT ALL with current kernels.

I asked about this problem on Ubuntu Forum
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2415972
with no success & the suggestion was to raise this bug...
There may be useful information in that thread, including this output from 
"inxi -Fzr" (run in good kernel .142).
