- Staging can change over time - particularly with Whonix / Kicksecure
- Changed dependencies
- Base machine's clock is skewed
- A misplaced file reference could be missing
- A file reference could be missing or misplaced
In short, a proper connection via Ethernet, installation over clearnet rather than TOR, and pre-determining an accurate clock time can save you a lot of headache.

2. You take action into your own hands and self-compile. Before you call us maniacs for suggesting this, we have built a script for self-compiling. The Plague Kernel [self_compilation.sh](https://0xacab.org/optout/plague-kernel/self_compilation.sh) script does all of the legwork.
- A quick note regarding this, we would strongly advise running with the default Plague kernel configuration rather than the fingerprinting hardware option to start. You can optionally choose to open the kernel configuration menu, and then select the module(s) with you are missing. This search can be done by running `/` in the UI that appears.
We do not advise trying to fingerprint your hardware while trying to make things work. This could vastly overcomplicate the problem, and could even result in an unbootable kernel.
We do not advise trying to fingerprint your hardware while trying to make things work. This could vastly overcomplicate the problem, and could even result in an unbootable kernel. We wish that we could provide full assurances that we could guarantee a working, self-compiled kernel on a variety of different hardware and software, however this sadly is not a reality.
#### Adding external modules
This is indeed a limitation. If you need external driver(s) that are not supported in the upstream Linux kernel, the only solutions you have are as follows:
This is indeed a limitation. The Plague Kernel & self-compile script are designed to sign the present modules and then burn the ephemeral signing key. We also have no desire or plans to bake in third party modules during our upstream build process.

- Install and run with the LTS kernel and forfeit the mitigations of the minimalist / hardened kernel
