Alex,

Please provide a URL for your motherboard from:

https://www.kontron.com/products/boards-and-standard-form-factors/motherboards

The exact details of the processor might point to a resolution or a 
better explanation of the underlying issues.


After reading the details of the patch Alan added and after personally 
having lots of problems with embedded Intel processors, my general 
suggestion when you encounter issues with embedded Intel processors is 
to "Use kernel-ml". :-)
