+   ``aws-neuron-dkms`` is a special kernel module package that has a dependency on the linux kernel version. This
+   means that when the package is installed through yum, it will only be compatible with the linux kernel version
+   that was running on the instance during the installation.
+
+   You have to re-install this package if you change the linux kernel version. The current kernel version can be
+   checked using ``uname -r``, and a list of the kernels that have dkms installed can be checked with
+   ``dkms status | grep aws-neuron``. Refer to the :ref:`NRT Troubleshooting Guide <neuron-driver-installation-fails>`
