Doesn't the ATA port numbering in software begin at 1, while it begins at 0 on the board? Though it is possible that the controller provides 4 ports, and a separate controller is used for eSATA.
I doubt that those messages are related to the reason why it won't boot further. Can you provide full logs from start?
The ata denomination is really not the issue here.
As I have already said, there is nothing else in the consol output, else I would have provided it. Those are the only two lines that appear once the kernel start decompressing. Nothing else shows. I've left it for 10 min see if anything else would show, but nothing there.
Recalling a bug I encountered a while back with a certain motherboard, try resetting the BIOS to defaults and don't change anything except ensuring ahci is active. If that still doesn't work, remove the cd drive entirely or disable in BIOS if that option is available.
