Well, at kernel.org in the changelog for 2.6.12, I see this:

    [PATCH] PCI: don't override drv->shutdown unconditionally

    There are many drivers that have been setting the generic driver
    model level shutdown callback, and pci thus must not override it.

    Without this patch we can have really bad data loss on various
    raid controllers.

Could it be related to your problem?  (I'm not trying to dismiss --
I've just been bitten by too many Linux corner cases not to worry
about the kernel.)
