Reloading a SCSI host driver (i.e. gdth, aic7xxx, etc) will increase the counter, reloading the SCSI core itself (scsi_mod) will reset the counter back to zero. Are you sure you're using gdth for your root? I thought it was just for SCSI controllers, I didn't know any SATA controllers used chipsets supported by that driver.
