Yeah, my system boots fine with 3.10.0-4 if I remove all of the i915 parameters in GRUB too. Those parameters used to be required to get a working framebuffer on the MBP 8,2 but I guess they aren't anymore.
I'll update the description and title based on the new information. ** Description changed: 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: Jul 19 19:07:09 polarimetric-MacBookPro acpid: 1 client rule loaded Jul 19 19:07:09 polarimetric-MacBookPro kernel: [ 26.475546] i915: Unknown parameter `modeset' Jul 19 19:07:09 polarimetric-MacBookPro gdm-simple-slave[1426]: Child process 1432 was already dead.

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). + This error only occurs if modprobe parameters are passed at boot, so the + problem appears to be with modprobe. All module parameters are said to + be invalid. After boot, attempting to insert a module results in the + same error.
