I solved the problem. It has nothing to do wrt Intel or not Intel graphics. Both kernel-3.10.13-101.fc18 and kernel-3.10.14-100.fc18 (from koji) freeze when booting because they are apparently unable to mount read/write the system partition if it has the option data=writeback in fstab. I had this option together with "discard" for the laptop where the problem occurred because it has a SSD and, right or wrong, I found these were suggested ooptions. If data=writeback is deprecated and it should be no longer be used people should be warned about rather than silently failing to boot. data=writeback for the root filesystem has to be specified on the kernel command line in addition to /etc/fstab. Append this to the kernel command line:
rootflags=data=writeback
