The aic7xxx module is driving a pcmcia scsi card, and there are mounted file systems on a external hard drive attached to that card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: prereq: pcmcia scsi interface card, external scsi drives with usable file system. 1.mount a file system from external scsi hard drive attached to pcmcia scsi card. 2.execute "shutdown -hy now" 3.pcmcia script unloads pcmcia scsi module with file systems still mounted 4.system on fire!

ok this is indeed rather unfunny. investigating.
quick question: is it pcmcia or cardbus ?
The Adaptec product is labeled "CardBus" on the front
