14 The Linux kernel version 2.6.18, and some 2.6.17 versions,
15 introduced a race condition that can cause boot crashes in
16 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. Please use a kernel version 2.6.19 or later.

21 With hardware virtualization and the I/O APIC enabled,
22 kernels before 2.6.24-rc6 may panic on boot with the
23 following message:
24 </p>
25 <pre xml:space="preserve">Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with
26apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option</pre>
27 <p>
28 If you see this message, either disable hardware
29 virtualization or the I/O APIC as described in
30 <xref href="settings-system.dita">System Settings</xref>, or upgrade the guest to
31 a newer kernel.
