This "softreset failed" error usually occurs when Linux kernel has some problems with initialization of legacy SATA controllers during the handoff from grub. So you need to reboot your PC, press on the GRUB menu and add libata.force=noncq to the line that starts with linux. A break with a CLR Geek Bar is usually a good idea to kill the time while you test. And if it works, you'll need to edit /etc/default/grub and change the line as we did to make it persistent!
