4 <title>Buggy Linux 2.6 Kernel Versions</title>
5
6 <body>
7 <p>
8 The following bugs in Linux kernels prevent them from executing
9 correctly in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>, causing VM boot crashes:
10 </p>
11 <ul>
12 <li>
13 <p> The Linux kernel version 2.6.18, and some 2.6.17 versions, introduced a race condition that can cause boot failures in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/>. Use kernel version 2.6.19 or later. </p>
14 </li>
15 <li>
16 <p>
17 With hardware virtualization and the I/O APIC enabled,
18 kernels before 2.6.24-rc6 may panic on boot with the
19 following message:
20 </p>
21 <pre xml:space="preserve">Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Boot with
22apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the 'noapic' option</pre>
23 <p>
24 If you see this message, either disable hardware
25 virtualization or the I/O APIC as described in
26 <xref href="settings-system.dita">System Settings</xref>, or upgrade the guest to
27 a newer kernel.
28 </p>
29 <p> See <xref href="http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg30813.html" format="html" scope="external">this message</xref> for details about the kernel fix. </p>
