Power chords are not defined in predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly

You can either define them yourself (see 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-fretted-strings#fret-diagram-markups)
 or you could use the predefined fretboards of this repository: 
https://github.com/Philomelos/lilypond-predefined-fretboards/tree/master/EADGBE.
  This repository contains several thousand predefined fret diagrams (not only 
power chords).  Just download the EADGBE folder, include the files and use it 
the following way:

\version "2.19.33"
\include “/path/to/downloaded/files/c-shape.ly”
\include “/path/to/downloaded/files/a-shape.ly”
\include “/path/to/downloaded/files/g-shape.ly”
\include “/path/to/downloaded/files/e-shape.ly”
\include “/path/to/downloaded/files/d-shape.ly"

\new FretBoards {
 \override FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.finger-code = #'in-dot
 \chordmode {
   \powerChords 
   \aShape
   a,,:1.5.8
  \eShape
  a,,:1.5.8
 }
}

HTH!
