I am, and I have done some work on your problem, but for the moment I am 
still at the same stage as you -- a continuous sequence of dots when 
doing an ide reset, right?

I have #define'd DEBUG in cmd_ide.c and compared the debug messages for 
my ED Mini V2 (working) and my OpenRD-Client (not working). I have also 
performed manual SATA and IDE reset sequences. Short story:

1) the board code correctly initializes the SATA link, which correctly 
detects a disk if there is one:

  Marvell>> md.l f1082300 4
f1082300: 00000113 14010000 00000300 010300b0    ................
Marvell>> md.l f1084300 4
f1084300: 00000000 00000000 00000300 010300b0    ................
Marvell>>

(this is consistent with my system which has a 1.5 GBps disk on port 0).

2) The problem is that the drive appears continuously non-RDY (SStatus 
register remains at 0x80 while on the ED Mini V2 it ends up at 0x50, 
which basically means it is ready).

I will now compare the MPP / GPIO settings performed by the 
FLASH-resident U-Boot (its 'ide reset' command works ok) to those in 
effect when the patched u-boot fails. Maybe one GPIO controls power to 
the internal SATA port, although I doubt it -- if the drive was off, the 
controller would not see it at all, and SStatus at F1082300 would not 
report it present.
