You just have cabling problems which where previously hidden by
the driver resorting to slower operation modes.

So please first have a look at the cabling inside your system.
(First of all plase make sure of course that you are using
a 80 wirde cable.) Or have a look in to the host chip driver
and penalize the transfer mode supported to lower speeds.
You can achieve basically a similar effect by setting
the busspeed kernel parameter to some artificially high value
as well.
