Possibly! Alas I'm currently juggling end of financial year,
international flights in ~36 hours, speaking commitments, and a bunch of
other firm commitments, so I won't reasonably have a chance to try until
next week. I'm setting myself a reminder.

Note to self: Last time you needed to blacklist some graphics drivers to
get things to boot, and maybe invoke noacpi. #SkylakeLife
