Yeah, sorry v3.11.x was painful on those wandboard quad's for awhile.
(specially sata rootfs) Since you originally had 3.11.0-armv7-x13,
you should also double check the version of u-boot has this patch to
enable the cpu errata fixes..
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=02824dc78642b3057cc8c1ab7dc32203f55a17fa
My build identifier for that is:
U-Boot 2013.10-00016-g6cccbd3 (Dec 05 2013 - 16:14:38)
As i was seeing other oddities on my wand's while doing gcc trunk
bootstraps and building chromium.
