Finally got a chance to try again. Syslog offered no clues that I was
able to identify, but I'm not a kernel engineer, so there is much in
there that I don't grok. But there was nothing to suggest anything
related to the repetitive errors I quoted before.
While digging around on marginally related missions I came across a page
on bringing up Ubuntu on an XPS 15 in dual boot with Windows. I'm not
doing that, but I used the suggestions on
https://github.com/rcasero/doc/wiki/Ubuntu-linux-on-Dell-XPS-15-(9560)
for how to deal with getting the latest nVidia drivers and switching
from the synaptics to libinput touchpad driver. Now it boots normally in
graphical mode, so in my ignorance I suspect the video driver.
The touchpad was indeed grossly oversensitive, and is now relatively
normal (Dell touchpads and Linux don't play nicely and never have).
Thank you all for your help.
