ASM1061 (SATA chip) --- archlinux-2013.07.01-dual.iso fails to boot

archlinux-2013.07.01-dual.iso hangs on boot if ANY SATA device (even just an optical drive) is connected to the ports of this chip (ASM1061) on my motherboard.

Arch installations, which do not comment out following line in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and rebuild initramfs also hang on boot:
# ATA/ATAPI devices (SPC-3 or later) using the "scsi" subsystem
#KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}!="?*", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="5", ATTRS{scsi_level}=="[6-9]*", IMPORT{program}="ata_id --export $devnode"

I'd like to be able to boot an arch install medium, without removing the SATA connectors from my board's ASM1061 (Remastering official install live iso --- how to create initrd?).

Edit: Debian's and Fedora's install media are booting fine when devices are connected to the ASM1061, Ubuntu's install medium fails to boot --- like Arch

Edit: I do not know if this is relevant: The motherboard has UEFI.

Update: It is possible to alter the arch install live iso to make it boot (Remastering official install live iso --- how to create initrd?).
