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.
