The firmware (Reboot, HEAD r2115) failed to boot on the x86 hardware of ebox3300a (http://www.compactpc.com.tw/product.aspx?act=detail&id=16). The CPU does not support PAE so I used legacy profile to compile. The boot log says that the CPU supports x2apic (really? Also no such option in BIOS) but the kernel does not:

In contrast, the machine boots well with openwrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 x86 generic (without IDE controller driver, though), and it also works well with the kernel from Debian sid installation iso.

Besides, there are patches that fixes its IDE controller detection as well as ethernet adapter (https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-October/028981.html and https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2014-October/028983.html). Since there is not supposed to be too many specific profiles, should we adopt these patches?

Hauke:

This problem is probably caused by this change in upstream Linux kernel:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d524165cb8dbb2ce5916cd7682236b9324ae2644

it is not possible to activate x2apic support in a 32 bit kernel.
