 Yes, I just re-checked: Just reverting to -r1.69 makes my bananapro
 boot again and re-reverting to -r1.70 makes it stuck again.

 It's the normal GENERIC kernel (le) which boots fine on my cubietruck
 with a sata drive attached.
 
 (BTW: I switched from SUNXI to GENERIC kernel some time ago, because
 the SUNXI kernel no longer worked properly).
 
  Are you by chance runnning a big endian GENERIC kernel?
 
 No.
