I believe the original poster on the second thread there was having a different
issue.
I am stuck using kernel 4.3.3 on Arch. With every version after (I have tried
up to 4.6.1; also note this is a problem on linux-lts now), I cannot boot
unless I disable KMS. With early KMS, I get 2-3 lines of boot before the screen
goes black. If I disable early KMS, then I see boot info for longer, but it
still goes black before it finishes. If I boot with 'nomodeset' I can boot
properly, but of course the graphics are slow desktop apps and widgets load
slowly. The Arch wiki actually says modesetting is mandatory for intel
graphics.
I encountered the same issue when booting from a Solus live usb: black screen
unless I boot with 'nomodeset'.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron 15 3552 with (from lspci):
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 22b1 (rev 21)
which (from what I've internetted) is Cherryview/Braswell.</pre>
