It looks to be some problem in shut down. Can you simply remove and
re-insert the driver successfully? If it's your root disk driver,
you'll have to do this from an initrd so as not to have root mounted
from the eata controller.

If the remove and reinsert fails, it means we have a problem in the
driver shut down. If not, it's likely something kexec related.
