GRUB loads. ??
I add acpi=off to the boot options and boot.  Otherwise, the screen goes black
with a '-' symbol at the top left corner and freezes.

So, after booting with acpi=off, the display shows the following lines (with timestamps on the??
left, but I had to manually transcribe so I left them off):

And then it enters the Guile 2.2.4 prompt, but the keyboard and USB ports
are disabled at this stage, so I can't use it.
