Re-training PEFT model fails after loading with Linear4bit error

[thelinuxkid]

Describe the bug
When attempting to train on top of an already trained model (with new data), loading the model with Python throws the error:

Already found a `peft_config` attribute in the model. This will lead to having multiple adapters in the model. Make sure to know what you are doing!                  [3311/13921]

AttributeError: 'Linear4bit' object has no attribute 'compute_dtype'

after attempting to load the model as so:

ludwig_model = LudwigModel(config)
ludwig_model.model = LudwigModel.create_model(config)
ludwig.model.load_weights("results/experiment_run_0/model")

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Train a single PEFT model
2. Attempt to retrain again but now loading the already trained model as above
3. See error

Expected behavior
The training should resume without failure. Thanks to @geoffreyangus for helping me find a workaround by adding the previous training's weights to adapter.pretrained_adapter_weights in the config file.
