If the system can probe the USB devices OK then another option might be to boot a USB image, either an install or a full live image. You should be able to exit the installer and then run dmesg into a file, and copy (ftp?) it somewhere. (you could also boot the CD with ahcisata switched to compat and install onto a USB device then switch it back and boot the USB device if you want to get a full install, but probably booting one of the existing USB images would be fine).
