Installmedia; Failing boot: "ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed"

[Chris]

Hardware: Thinkpad X1 Extreme (20MF000TGE)
State: Initial Win10 installation.

Trying to install *any* recent desktop version of ubuntu, but also live image fails brutally, due to (PCIO) ACPI errors:

[ 0.452142] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PCIO.SPI1.FPNT._CRS, AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE (20180531/psparse-516)
[ 0.452168] ACPI Error: Method execution failed \_SB.PCIO.SPI1.FPNT._CRS, AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE (20180531/uteval-69)
[ 0.455124] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB.PCIO.SPI2.FPNT._CRS, AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE (20180531/psparse-516)
[ 0.455146] ACPI Error: Method execution failed \_SB.PCIO.SPI2.FPNT._CRS, AE_AML_INVALID_RESOURCE_TYPE (20180531/uteval-69)

The error occurs on 18.10. desktop usb installation media: It doesn't matter which USB stick on the right side is used. I was neither able to boot the live system of this version in efi mode nor in legacy bios mode. Medium check completed successfully. SHA256-sum of the install media is "818affdaea8d38bbbe620009bfa788a7cbc583c7c61c2d278f61dd3c43e030a0" (which is correct!).
Directly choosing installation in the boot menu does just show a black screen.

I also tried 18.04.1 LTS to double check: This install image does not boot either, but the error is just shown briefly, so I cannot tell if this is indeed the same error. Selfchecking this media freezes the system at some point during the process. Also this media produces the correct sha256-sum.

I can confirm this for two different USB sticks: SanDisk Ultra USB3.0 (16GB) and some unknown TOSHIBA model.

Update:
Okay. A BIOS update fixed something: at least it boots now into live...

Please ask questions, if something is unclear or if you want me to test/do something...
