Confirmed! I am able to install this kernel and reboot my system correctly into Gnome.

jkrause@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.2.0-30-generic #35+lp1548587~kamal2 SMP Wed Feb 24 17:26:10 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Versions: 15.10 & 14.04
VMWare Fusion: 8.1.0 (3272237)
Mac OS: 10.10.5

However, I am experiencing a new issue now. Upon first reboot, VMWare resized my host OS window to 8000x3200. This happened with both 15.10 and 14.04.

15.10 had the latest Open VM Tools installed and 14.04 had NO version of Open VM Tools or proprietary VMWare Tools. It seems like this kernel build disregarded my previously set resolution.

In both cases, I was able to change my resolution back to its correct value and reboot with no issues.
