The problem you're observing is exactly may be Gen2 training (because RK3399 supports Gen2 max). You need to try such an update somehow to test. These boards are development, not user-friendly and not completely customer use ready yet, many Linux updates needed to polish the operation.
Sorry, I think my message was unclear: Correct, 1.2V not 12V. When the SATA board is not working, I see no voltage on pin 48 of the ASM1061 controller chip. Its datasheet says pin 48 is 1.25V Core Power. Looking in the data sheet further, I see the ASM1061 has an internal regulator to make the 1.25V. I actually measure 1.185V there when the controller board is working. It would have been better to probe the 3.3V input to the board, but pin 48 was an easy to probe corner pin.
The link you mention above, plus others that link to it, show other people have this same problem. Patching the kernel would be quite some work for me as I have not done that before. I may have to wait until the update makes it into a build of OMV. Right now, the controller will come up for me about half the time and I have it on a UPS, so I may wait.
And yes, what you say is correct, this SBC shows lots of promise, but still has some rough edges. Though, when it does power-up correctly, I have no complaints at all for use as a NAS.
