Summary0004132: CPU Soft lockup (Skylake 6700HQ) due to nouveau - Doesn't finish booting
Description

Kali weekly image http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-weekly/kali-linux-2017-W16-amd64.iso doesn't really finish booting, I get CPU soft lock up which lead to kernel oops and that makes the machine unuseable (X doesn't even start, all I get is the console).

Based on the screenshots attached, they seem to be in nouveau. And those oops/issues keep coming on the screen until I force turn off.

Additional Information

Installing 2016.2 works but last time I did, then updated it (which included the kernel), it failed to boot due to nouveau blocking at boot time.

It's an Dell laptop with dual GPU: Intel + Nvidia 960M.
CPU is i7 6700HQ.

Here is the exact laptop model: Dell Inspiron i7559-5012GRY

Can confirm, I've got exactly the same problem.
Kali worked on 2016.2 (with screen flickering) but on 2017.1 it displays the errors shown in OP's image.

Laptop System: Aspire E5-771G
CPU: Intel i5 4210U
Dual GPU: IntelĀ® HD Graphics 4400 & Nvidia Geforce 840M

when at the grub startup
have you tried e (for edit)
then in the linux section
insert nomodeset before the word ro
then ctrl-x or F10 to boot

bigfoot18, it only happens on recent kernels. If I installed 2016.1 and did not update it, it would not trigger. However, if I updated, I would get a more recent kernel (which 2017.1 has) that triggers.

Mister_X, I hope this gets resolved soon. I tried using other versions of Kali such as the 32bit version. Nothing changed, still get the same error when trying to boot into persistence. Live still works fine though.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x/2017.1), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
