I checked the cable and connections. Everything looks OK. The cable is ~ 40cm
long.
I made these timeout changes:
const unsigned long sata_deb_timing_normal[] = { 5, 1000, 20000 };
const unsigned long sata_deb_timing_hotplug[] = { 25, 5000, 20000 };
And I have these results:

Shorter timouts have mostly the same results. It never changes to anything other

Can it be a hardware init / setup problem? In the Armada 38x Functional
Specifications there is a chapter about "Amplitude and Pre-emphasize level" at
