+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.
