If so, often the laptop BIOSes are flakey and not very standard for laptops so it looks like this might have a bug in it that is reporting the root filesystem device incorrectly. If you have a GRUB prompt, that means that the first stage of GRUB in on your harddrive but it can't find the second stage. You should be able to fix things up using the following GRUB documentation and might have to customize your map file if your BIOS gives grub-install some bogus info to build your map file from.

Not a step by step solution by any means but might give you some hints to get going.
