+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Initialization Errors
+
+If you encounter these errors when using LightRAG:
+
+1. **`AttributeError: __aenter__`**
+   - **Cause**: Storage backends not initialized
+   - **Solution**: Call `await rag.initialize_storages()` after creating the LightRAG instance
+
+2. **`KeyError: 'history_messages'`**
+   - **Cause**: Pipeline status not initialized
+   - **Solution**: Call `await initialize_pipeline_status()` after initializing storages
+
+3. **Both errors in sequence**
+   - **Cause**: Neither initialization method was called
+   - **Solution**: Always follow this pattern:
+   ```python
+   rag = LightRAG(...)
+   await rag.initialize_storages()
+   await initialize_pipeline_status()
+   ```
+
+### Model Switching Issues
+
+When switching between different embedding models, you must clear the data directory to avoid errors. The only file you may want to preserve is `kv_store_llm_response_cache.json` if you wish to retain the LLM cache.
