+        ### Troubleshooting: Kubernetes Version Mismatch
+        
+        If the installation times out or pods fail to start, your Kind cluster (Server) version might be incompatible with your local `kubectl` (Client) version.
+        
+        1. Check your current versions:
+           ```bash
+           kubectl version
+        
+        ```
+        
+        2. If the **Server Version** is significantly older than your **Client Version** (or you see a version skew warning), you should recreate the cluster using a matching version:
+        ```bash
+        # Replace 1.XX.Y with your Client Version (e.g., 1.35.0)
+        kn-quickstart kind --kubernetes-version 1.XX.Y
+        
+        ```
+        
+        
+        For more details on version compatibility, see the [Kind Known Issues](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/docs/user/known-issues/).

 === "Using minikube"
 
     1. Install Knative and Kubernetes in a [minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/) instance by running:
