Ubuntu 16.04 hangs at boot

Ubuntu 16.04 wont boot and hangs at "unsupported splx structure"

Im on a Asus ROG 501JW, with Skylake CPU, Intel 530 + Nvidia 960m and intel wireless AC-7265 This is what the console puts out before the systems hangs/freezes

I am using these boot parameters to boot 16.04 on my GL552VW: i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=! acpi=0 acpi_backlight=vendor idle=nomwait

My touchpad requires me to boot twice to get the pointer to display. I am trying to figure that out.

Modify 10_linux in /etc/grub.d line 177 put in after ro and before ${arg} and then sudo update-grub in a terminal window

I have not tried what Jon Delano posted above but... I tried installing the nvidia proprietary driver on a USB with a "save changes" partion so it would save my changes in the Live session, and after installing the Nvidia driver the computer now boots, and everything seems to two work expect the stuff highlighted by Jon Delano above :) I'm guessing the boot parameters above work as well - It seems in the end its a problem with the nouveau driver..
