I've seen this messages both on cold- and hot-plug.

Here's a hot-plug log:

Looks like almost a minute to me? On another occurence I see about 1.5
minutes, then "port is slow to respond, please be patient (Status 0x80)"
has been repeated 3 times. On cold-plug also 3 times, I think, about the
same time then (time is not updated in the log).

So far - yes.

Sorry, I actually meant to ask what "UDMA/133" means for a SATA link?

Thanks
