nipalk kernel panic on Alma Linux 9.1 (RedHat variant). Kernel 5.14.0

[rpoffen1]

We use Alma Linux 9.1 with NI-488.2 Q32023 installed. This is on a system that talks to an Agilent DVM via GPIB using an NI PCIE-GPIB card installed.If we use our native compiled software application to control the DVM, we have no problems.

However, we do have to support our previous software for legacy customers that is compiled on Centos 7.2. To do this, we run podman containers under Alma Linux 9.1 in a Centos 7 environment to run the older software.

When we do this, upon trying to later shutdown or reboot the workstation, the kernel panics pointing to the nipalk module as follows. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
