I have the same issue.

My system was working with out any issue before restarting my system i have installed following softwares.

1. Django,
2. Mysql server 5.5
3. Mysql benchmark

And i have installed few updates for ubuntu. It was showing as Security Updates for Ubuntu. After installing Updates the update manager showed that i should restart the system. On restart i got following error message.

" failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled". So i tried the work around mentioned above. ie

1. add intel_ips to the blacklist
   echo "blacklist intel_ips" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
2. add i915 and intel_ips to /etc/modules
   echo -e "i915/nintel_ips" >> /etc/modules

Now when start the system it freezes at Ubuntu splash screen.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, on Dell inspiron N1040. I need to boot the system as i have spend lot of days configuring. Python and Django.

Please help
