Hi Arthur,
	The above results suggest that we need to shutdown eata
controller for kexec. So could you please try to apply the attached
patch upon the previous two patches?
Thanks!
Gerry

Hi, I still get kexec shutdown errors like this with the 3rd patch applied:

http://www.users.on.net/~arthur.marsh/20151003566.jpg

I can still unmount filesystems, modprobe -r eata and modprobe eata to 
get things into a state where a kexec reboot works.

Regards,

Arthur.

To clarify, if the eata driver gets loaded once and stays loaded, at a 
kexec reboot attempt the "Synchronising SCSI cache" message is missing 
for the SCSI disk attached to the controller using the eata driver and 
eventually other error messages appear as seen in screen images that I 
have previously posted.

If the eata driver is loaded, unloaded via modprobe -r, then reloaded, a 
kexec reboot shows 2 "Synchronising SCSI cache" messages for the SCSI 
disk attached to the controller using the eata driver and the kexec 
reboot is successful.
