can’t see nvidia card though VM shows component assigned

I  am having a problem with the VM recognizing the GPU assigned to the slice but  lscpi not recognizing the nvidia card.  I have used this same configuration before, without the permanent storage and lscpi did recognize the T4.  I have also created a test slice, with and without the permanent storage and gpu, a single nic(basic) and nothing else.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.   I’ve tried running   dnf update, thinking that might help, but it did not. I am unable to assign a different gpu, and must use WASH. I am using JupyterHub to configure the slice, from WASH, using version fablib 1.9.3,  running Rocky 8, assigned a Tesla T4, using fabric port, and recently adding permanent storage.

thank you in advance for your assistance
