Cards (drivers) gone after centos update?(solved)

After running yum install update all my cards are gone from tvheadend.
I suspect the kernel got updated and now the drivers for the card are not initializing anymore.

Is there a quick fix for this? Please let me know the procedure for fixing this issue?
With similar issue in Ubuntu I had to recompile and reinstall the drivers - is this the same problem here?
If so could you please provide quick instructions for the commands to fix this?

Thanks

So after playing around with it for a bit I figured the drivers had to be reinstalled, but also the lib files had to be removed:
Issue this command to check the cards:
dmesg | grep frontend
It should give you a heads up, on my install the tuners were first missing, but after running:

Unzip and tar the files into dir on /root
tar xj tbs... -C /root

For 64bit system urn under the /root/linux-tbs-drivers#
./v4l/tbs-x86_64.sh
./v4l/tbs-dvbc-x86_64.sh (if using dvb-c)
make
make install

Rebooting and running the dmesg|grep frontend again now I got a disagree error

uname -a to check current kernel
then delete the libs under the current kernel
rm -Rf /lib/modules/3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/media

another reboot now running the dmesg|grep frontend shows the tuners with no errors and everything works

Hi all

After yum update it will update the kernel and the new kernel has not install our driver yet ,so
please have a try install the driver manual . if using TBS6904 with your MOIPro-AMD please using this driver first :
