All back to normal running nVidia drivers.

For 14.04 ignore advice about /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Irrelevant.
Instead, boot into recovery mode in the grub menu.

Go into a shell (root shell) from the grub recovery menu.
# make read-write
mount -o remount,rw /
# remove nvidia packages.
apt-get purge 'nvidia*'
exit 


The apt-get command needs the quotes
around nvidia*.

You will get a warnng that the first reboot might not be
enough. I had to boot twice.

Now in the  Settings->Addtional Drivers
select the nvidia driver you want.

Then
sudo apt-get install nvidia-modprobe

Now reboot and all will, I hope, be good
for you too.

Problem solved.

Title:
  Kernel Oops during boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System crash during boot.  First encountered when booting
  3.13.0-63-generic #103-Ubuntu on restart after upgrade
  from 3.13.0-62.  that crashes the same way during boot.

  I tried using grub and booted into 3.13.0-62 but that
  behaved the same.  The data that should be here

  System remounts disk readonly
  and boots. I can ssh in to the system (but being read only
  cannot change anything).

  
  Ran memory test overnight (about 1.5 complete cycles
  of the test) and no errors.

  (on the --63)
  uname -a
  Linux Dseti3.home 3.13.0-63-generic #103-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 14 21:42:59 UTC 2015
   x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Two nVidia GTX 760 GPUs.
  Using nVidia drivers because using OpenCL for boinc Seti@home
  and Einstein@home.

  I removed one GPU (as a test) and reboot encountered the same problem.

  Suggestions as to how to figure out what is wrong would
  be most welcome.
