Known Issues
------------
A couple of issues were discovered immediately following the release
that will be fixed in a follow-on point release in the upcoming weeks.
A pair of changes ([CB:67754](https://review.coreboot.org/67754) and
[CB:67662](https://review.coreboot.org/67662)) which merged shortly
before the 4.18 release have created an issue on Intel Apollo Lake
platform boards which prevents SMM/SMI from functioning; this affects
only Apollo Lake (but not Gemini Lake) devices.
See [CB:68599](https://review.coreboot.org/68599) for the fix.
Another issue applies to all Intel-based boards with onboard I2C TPMs
when verified boot is not enabled. The I2C buses don’t get initialized
until after the TPM, causing timeouts, TPM initialization failures, and
long boot times. See [CB:68550](https://review.coreboot.org/68550) for
the fix.
