Thanks for help.

ACPI mode - it says:
WARNING:Driver mistake: repeat make_dev("ttyv0")
panic: don't do that

Single user mode - it says : don't know how to make buildkernel
(I think - because I've installed kernel sources only
(X-Kernel-Developer))

But now I tried it with 4.9  - and it works. But only with 4.9

With 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 didn't. May be 5.2.1 will be better ...
