"pci_init: no BIOS32 detected"

This is going to be a problem.

"hd0: no response (status = 0xff)
hd0: non-IDE drive, CHS=1024/255/63
hd0: INVALID GEOMETRY: 255 PHYSICAL HEADS?"

This is funny.  The oldish Linux IDE driver says:

      * The ATA spec tells large drives to return
      * C/H/S = 16383/16/63 independent of their size.

So why doesn't it?  (Disclaimer: I know little about drives)

Do you mind giving a few details about the hardware in question, both
the laptop and the drive?
