The 3.9 kernels work and the 3.10 kernels fail to boot.

In addition to the above kernels you listed, I tried the last 3.9 and
the first 3.10 based on the directory date listings at
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.

Boots OK:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9.11-saucy/  

Fails to boot:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.10-rc1-saucy/


via686a 0000:00:07.4: base address not set - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
Reading through https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hwmon/via686a it is a fan control issue and "Addresses scanned: ISA in PCI-space encoded address".   The kernel doc suggests to only try "Example: 'modprobe via686a force_addr=0x6000'" if one can't find an updated BIOS:  but doesn't tell me how I find the correct address.  The two variable speeds seem to be working OK.   I checked the vendors website and emailed Sagar to ask about an updated BIOS.

lshw shows:

Title:
  Boot failure with saucy kernel 3.11 probing eisa

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have an old laptop that I upgraded to saucy and it will only boot the earlier 3.8 kernel.  The 3.11, 3 versions tried including the proposed, hangs on "Platform eisa.0: Probing EISA bus 0" 
   
  I also tried the 3.12.0-999 kernel at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2013-11-07-saucy/ and it hangs as well.
