ahci0: stopping the port, softreset slot 31 was still active.
ahci0: failed to reset port during timeout handling, disabling it
Does anyone have a patch to try or is there a way to boot into the full
system starting from a CD or network boot?

If you have no reason not to, try disabling AHCI? A while ago (not now)
I had a few motherboards with SSDs that did were not happy with AHCI on.
They were extremely low disk use systems, though. Note this will change
your disk device names from sdX to wdX (I think) so some minor fstab
tinkering may be needed if you aren't using labels or anything.
Unless you are booting a kernel that has strayed far from generic, I
don't think it would matter if you got your kernel from a CD or the
network -- it's still the same kernel going after the same hardware and
will hit the same problem -- so going to current (as was already
suggested) is the only direction to move in. Or to generic, if possible
and not already.
