There were absolutely no changes that would cause this in 3.10.0-4
compared to -3 (only 3 patches, one for hyperv, one to enable dynamic
debugging, and one adding a pci id for a realtek sd card reader..). Can
you attach /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.1 that will have
historical dmesg info from the failure?

Jul 19 19:07:09 polarimetric-MacBookPro kernel: [ 26.475546] i915:
Unknown parameter `modeset'

This seems to be the problem, passing invalid module parameters prevents
a module from loading but that is not an invalid parameter so this is
the mystery..

Title:
  Kernel 3.10.0-4 fails on graphical boot with i915

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After updating today to kernel 3.10.0-4 on Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (Macbook
  Pro 8,2), I am unable to boot graphically. Recovery mode boot works
  fine. When attempting to boot using integrated graphics, the syslog
  gets spammed with this sequence of errors over and over:

  This error does not occur on the previous version 3.10.0-3. Since this
  only occurs on 3.10.0-4 but the errors are GDM-related, I'm not sure
  if it's a kernel bug or a GDM bug, so I'm marking it as affecting both
  for the time being. I think it's kernel-related, though, because I
  never see any text on the screen, and the screen backlight never comes
  on (normally, I see a message about the wl driver registering my
  wireless card and IRQ #17 being disabled before GDM initializes).

  EDIT: Please ignore the version string in the below information; I'm
  reporting this bug from 3.10.0-3 but it only affects 3.10.0-4.
