 To complete the installation - follow instructions in `Binding the available VFs to the DPDK UIO driver`_.
 
+**Note**: If the QAT kernel modules are not loaded and you see an error like
+    ``Failed to load MMP firmware qat_895xcc_mmp.bin`` this may be as a
+    result of not using a distribution, but just updating the kernel directly.
