--- Comment #17 from jus...@gerhardt.link ---
I've updated the previous table with a much higher version number. If your
issues are caused by the new version having a higher revision and thus the
modified table not being loaded this should fix that. The BIOS 1.0 table was
set at revision 3 and the previous modified table was at 1000 so this is
unlikely to be the cause.

the modified table is based on BIOS 1.0. Dell may have made changes to the
table in the new BIOS versions that should be accounted for.

In order to make a new modified table you will first have to manage to boot
under the new BIOS to acquire the tables. The good news is the tools required
work under both windows and linux. Windows should be bootable. 

You can get the windows versions at https://acpica.org/downloads/binary-tools
and under linux your distro probably has a package for them. 

1. run "acpidump -o tables" to create a file with the currently running tables
2. "acpixtract -a tables" to extract the individual tables (we only care about
the FACP table)
3. "iasl -d facp.dat" to disassemble the FACP table
4. edit facp.dsl with your prefered text editor. 
set the "Oem Revision" field at the top to a larger number
set the "Hardware Reduced (V5)" field to 0
5. "iasl -sa facp.dsl" to assemble your modified table
6. install the produced facp.aml file like you did before
