Using up to and including 4.11.7 getting reports coming in of black
screens on new laptops (includes booting to console only).   The
solution is to use kernel parameter acpi=off.  The newer include Dell
Latitude 5289 and  Lenovo e-560. (although searching Internet even
older system affected like HP Envy 17 j053ea and others that
pci=noacpi is enough to get it working).   Be nice for Linux to "just
work" on these systems without special kernel parameters.
