Error -1074118656 in NI-DMM Driver After Updating the Linux Kernal

Issue Details

• The error appears when trying to connect to the DMM via a Python script.
• I cannot revert the machine to the kernel's previous version for security reasons. 
• I did notice that the DMM cards appear on the lsni -v call, but they don't appear on the lspci call created by the system report.

Solution

1. Open the command prompt and run it as administrator
2. Input the following command and run: dracut --omit-drivers "ni408x_driver nicntdrk nidimk nikal nimdbgk nimru2k nimxdfk niorbk nipalk nipxifpk nipxirmk nismbus" --force
3. Reboot the system
4. If this has not resolved the issue, you will need to reimage the machine on the latest kernel version, without any NI drivers
5. Once reimaged, install the NI drivers, such as NI-DMM

Additional Information

• Either reimaging the machine or running the script will fix the non-working driver. 
• This error can happen when the kernel is updated while the driver was installed on a previous kernel version. RHEL recognizes that the driver was installed with a previous kernel version and tries to run it with the older kernel version. This is why the error message appears.
