Not sure is this is the same or different issue. With my old Lenovo R60 laptop 
with Fedora 22, it has been working with the 4.2.3 kernel, but the new 4.2.5 
has the boot menu come up, but after selecting it, a couple of lines flash on 
the screen, and then the screen goes out completely black. Can select the 
previous kernel. Currently in PI, was suppose to be in Bali for Harley 
Davidson conventions but got on plane, and had to get off after volcano, so 
stuck in an unplanned hotel with 10 others from Guam making the trip. 
Internet is ok, but just haven't had time to read all the fedora list messages, 
Not getting updates on what status is, but latest is the airport will be opned 
today finally, and we will get out tonight to get the last day of convention.
