I'm rather embarrassed, but I must not have tried this on 5.2.1. I had 
tried it when I wanted to install 5.1, without success, but it worked 
for 5.2.1

I know that this system supports ACPI, as I've both checked the 
documentation as well as had used a Linux kernel with ACPI support (I've 
checked and my 4.9 kernel doesn't have acpi built-in.

Is there any way to use ACPI at present, or are the changes that still 
need to be made to the code?
