Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the quick response.  The machine had been rebooted (uptime less than 
since the driver upgrade was applied) and when I look through the output of 
dmesg, I see:

[   11.645200] nvidia-nvlink: Nvlink Core is being initialized, major device 
number 243
[   11.645234] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  375.26  Thu Dec  
8 18:36:43 PST 2016 (using threaded interrupts)

which to me would indicate the new kernel module has in fact been loaded.  Is 
there something else I should be looking for there?

Thanks,

Josh
