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).
