Booting any 5.14 kernel on certain Celeron-based 32-bit machines results in a panic:

[ 22.546247] Run /init as init process

I've bisected it to this commit:

6f9866a166cd1ad3ebb2dcdb3874aa8fee8dea2f [x86/fpu/signal: Let xrstor handle the features to init]

Reverting it results in a working system.
