+ <para>This sections describes known problems with VirtualBox
+ $VBOX_VERSION_STRING. Unless marked otherwise, these issues are planned to

+ <listitem>
+ <para>The following <emphasis role="bold">Guest SMP (multiprocessor)
+ limitations</emphasis> exist:<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Poor performance</emphasis> with
+ 32-bit guests on AMD CPUs. This affects mainly Windows and Solaris
+ guests, but possibly also some Linux kernel revisions. Partially
+ solved in 3.0.6 for 32 bits Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003 guests.
+ Requires 3.0.6 or higher Guest Additions to be installed.</para>

+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Poor performance</emphasis> with
+ 32-bit guests on certain Intel CPU models that do not include
+ virtual APIC hardware optimization support. This affects mainly
+ Windows and Solaris guests, but possibly also some Linux kernel
+ revisions. Partially solved in 3.0.12 for 32 bits Windows NT,
+ 2000, XP and 2003 guests. Requires 3.0.12 or higher Guest
+ Additions to be installed.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ </itemizedlist></para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">64-bit guests on some 32-bit host systems
+ with VT-x</emphasis> can cause instabilities to your system. If you
+ experience this, do not attempt to execute 64-bit guests. Refer to the
+ VirtualBox user forum for additional information.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Direct 3D support in Windows
+ guests.</emphasis> For this to work, the Guest Additions must be
+ installed in Windows "safe mode". Press F8 when the Windows guest is
+ booting and select "Safe mode", then install the Guest Additions.
+ Otherwise Windows' file protection mechanism will interfere with the
+ replacement DLLs installed by VirtualBox and keep restoring the original
+ Windows system DLLs.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Guest control.</emphasis> On
+ Windows guests, a process lauched via the guest control execute support is
+ only able to display a graphical user interface if the user account it is
+ started under, is currently logged in and has a desktop
+ session. Otherwise, the process will not be able to display its user
+ interface. </para>
+ <para>Also, for using accounts without or with an empty password specified,
+ the group policy needs to be changed on the guest. To do so, open the
+ group policy editor on the command line by typing
+ <computeroutput>gpedit.msc</computeroutput>, open the key
+ <emphasis>Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options</emphasis>
+ and change the value of <emphasis>Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only</emphasis>
+ to <emphasis>Disabled</emphasis>.</para>

+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Guest multi-monitor support.</emphasis> This
+ feature is currently only supported with Windows guests.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Deleting the only snapshot with a running VM
+ is not implemented.</emphasis> Trying to perform this operation will
+ result in an error message. This feature will be added in one of the
+ next maintenance releases. It is possible to delete the only snapshot
+ when the VM is not running, e.g. in "poweroff" or "saved" state.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Disabled host I/O caches.</emphasis>
+ Disabling the host I/O cache (see <xref linkend="iocaching" />) will
+ yield poor performance with VHD and sparse VMDK files as these do not
+ currently support asynchronous I/O. This does not apply to VDI files and
+ raw disk/partition VMDK files, which do support async I/O. This
+ restriction will be lifted in a future maintenance update.</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">Compacting virtual disk images is limited to
+ VDI files.</emphasis> The <code>VBoxManage modifyhd --compact</code>
+ command is currently only implemented for VDI files. At the moment the
+ only way to optimize the size of a virtual disk images in other formats
+ (VMDK, VHD) is to clone the image and then use the cloned image in the
+ VM configuration.</para>
+ </listitem>

+ <listitem>
+ <para><emphasis role="bold">OVF import/export:</emphasis><itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>When importing an OVF that was previously exported by
+ VirtualBox 3.2 or higher which contains a complete VirtualBox machine
+ configuration in the &lt;vbox:Machine&gt; element, some of the
+ import customizations that can be specified (in either the GUI or
+ on the VBoxManage command line) are presently ignored. In
+ particular, customizations of the imported storage configuration
+ are ignored. This will be fixed in the next release.</para>

+ <para>OVF localization (multiple languages in one OVF file) is not
+ yet supported.</para>

+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>By default, the VirtualBox EFI enables debug output of the
+ Mac OS X Server kernel to help you diagnose boot problems. Note
+ that there is a lot of output and not all errors are fatal (they
+ would also show on your physical Mac). You can turn off these
+ messages by issuing this command:<screen>VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" "VBoxInternal2/EfiBootArgs" " "</screen>To
