(I'm running into similar problems as you. ) If you want to quickly test Ethernet, you can download the cubieboard a20 ubn image and use Phoenix suite to "burn" it to the NAND. It will install Linaro with a perfectly functional X desktop and eth and ahci enabled, needs the eoma68 uboot and fex changed to properly enable mmc and sata. If I can get u-boot to flipping build correctly, I could finally test SATA.

 ok, then follow henrik's instructions, set up with MEB, on here:
  http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/

 you *only* need u-boot (and the tools) - nothing else.  not even a
micro-sd card.

 once you've got a working u-boot which boots up to a prompt over UART
let us know ok?

 i'd suggest IRC (if anyho else can help) - i'm busy this evening and
working full-time during the day so can't get on IRC.
