Pattern of black screens with Linux on newer laptops.
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.
