Same here, on two  laptops, one the same Dell D630 as the OP, as well as
a basically identical D830. However, editing the boot parameters from
the grub menu does not allow me to get to a login screen, and I am
unable to even get to a vt to run any sort of commands.

Title:
  linux-image 3.19.0.12.11 will not boot - Intel mobile 965 chipset

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  the recent Vivid linux meta package upgrade of 3.19.0.12.11 caused my
  Dell Latitude D630 to stop booting.  The boot continues to "starting
  version 219" and then freezes.

  Eliminating the "splash" option by editing GRUB allows the computer to
  boot until the login screen.  After login, the computer again locks
  up, displaying a blue background and a immobile mouse pointer in the
  center of the screen.

  The same behavior occurs when booting from the daily DVD image which
  contains 3.19.0.12.

  I have reverted to 3.19.0.11.10 which is how I am reporting this bug.
  I'm not sure the usual commands for reporting bugs would be helpful
  while running the previous kernel.  I am unable to run these commands
  with 3.19.0.12 as I cannot get to a point of interacting with the
  system.

  I have attached the syslog from attempting to boot 3.19.0.12.
