Apologies for not having more in the way of diagnostic info.

Every one of the 4.17-rcX series has hung during boot at the point where
"acpid" starts up.  Beginning with -rc5, the boot actually proceeds to
completion after an "uncomfortably" long delay.

Attempting to run the X11 server results in the following diagnostic
output in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log":

Everything works normally with a 4.16 kernel.
