Dear Forum members,
I am new here, so forgive me if I forgot to include any information. I appreciate your attention!
I will try to be the most concise possible, but still will be a large question.
I work with and Advanced TCA (ATCA), which is connected via a slot in a PCI Express switch. The installed OS is Fedora, and the ATCA was mounted in /dev/pcie0. Besides it, there was pcie from 1 to 9 in the /dev folder. Since I needed to control a wave generator by usb, I installed NI-VISA, which worked fine. That is, until I rebooted the system.
Now none of the pcies are mounted in the /dev folder. I tried to uninstall NI-VISA, but the problem persists. Maybe it changed what driver should be used for the pcie ports. From the output below, I suspect that the ports are recognized (PEX 8532), because, as I said before, previously I had pcie from 0 to 9. The lights in front of the chip are not lit (as it should be), so I think there is no power been sent to it.

Since there was no problem reading data from it, I didn't think in saving any system log while it was working. I tried to reinstall udev, and also I checked the bios configuration to see if it recognizes the PCIPnP.
Attached is the "lspci -v" output.
I know that the PCI is not from NI, but all the trouble started after the installation of NI-VISA, and I haven't found anywhere else that i could post this question. Has this problem happened to anyone else? Do you have any idea what can I do to fix this?
Thank you very much for your attention, if you followed me until here.
