nahh sata working fine over here with initramfs-tools.

aboves log isn't an initramfs-tools usage,
that's an image generated by initrd-tools.
initrd-tools is known to be buggy for sata discs.

please try "update-initramfs -u" and check that the initramfs image got updated
should be the last entry of
ls -lrt /boot
and repost your log then?

thanks for your feedback.
