It will still boot

I too am unable to boot the newer kernels from at least 4.8.4 but I have
a different failure than what you are describing.  I have a Lenovo T440p
and an older desktop machine with an Intel core 2 duo processor, both
fail in the same manner.

When the system comes up the system goes into a hibernation mode, if I
bring it out of hibernation it'll continue the boot and then go into
hibernation again, eventually after 4 or 5 hibernation cycles I can
finally get the machine to complete the boot cycle and allow me to log
in, at this point the system appears to work properly.

Suggestions?

Obvious question, but have you bugzilla'd this? It sure looks like an
issue with the ACPI system considering the power manager is what's
shutting it down. You could try booting with "acpi=off" on the command
line and see if that'll keep it alive.

As I have noted in "Bug 1394353 - New kernels won't boot on older IBM T30 laptop", this bug has been squashed by the latest

   kernel-4.8.6-201.fc24.i686+PAE
   kernel-4.8.6-201.fc24.i686
