Hmmm .. results unclear.  It looks as if the u-boot cannot see the
SATA drive at all.  Also u-boot has apparently no commands that I can
find to list SATA devices (whereas there are commands for listing mmc
devices).

The boot messages are attached if you have any idea.

How does u-boot know which boot partition to use?  Is the boot UUID
encoded somewhere in u-boot, or does it just scan all devices for
something that looks bootable?

The SSD is a known-good, ordinary Intel SSD, and is obviously plugged
in.

Rich.
