Peter, thanks. Unfortunately, although the acpi=force a) fixes the blackout-every-minute behaviour and makes the machine usable b) shows the battery icon with seemingly correct remaining time when the power lead is removed it does not then sleep after the time specified in the power management dialogue or respond to lid-shut etc. I do not therefore suggest white-listing this for acpi support. If you think it appropriate, I can raise a bug on 'install does not see batteries' or similar ?
