I dont know what can be the cause of this, I just added the i915 parameters to the kernel line and as soon as I login I get a lot of warnings and errors that eventually locks up the laptop (lenovo t420s, intel i5) and I have to power it down.
I pasted the kern.log on a pastebin, here is the link: http://pastebin.com/F6ni2Fha
On that log file some lines appear to be interesting, this lines appear just before the laptop locks up:
