I'll try to get ahold of my wife's laptop again, but looking at other bug reports I'm under the impression that it was a VGA problem rather than a disk problem in the end. The laptop has one of the infamous GMA500 video chips so I would not be that surprised if entering VGA mode broke at some point. Anyway, I'll let you know in the next days.

Grub stops at "Welcome to Grub", nothing happens from there. Vladimir suggested that this might be a PCI probing issue. Could you try 1.98+20100804-12 or newer from unstable and see if that fixes it for you?

Bug#591222: grub-pc: grub seems not to detect disks
Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100710-1
Severity: important
Hi,
I spent a couple of days trying to figure what was wrong but I don't
seem to make any bit progress.
I have a number of symptoms that seem to point to grub not finding the
root partition where grub is installed on my HD.
1. Grub stops at "Welcome to Grub", nothing happens from there.
2. using the ata disk module I also get a nice "no device connected"
error
I just have a plain primary partition with an ext3 filesystem, the
chipset is Intel SCH.
I tried both 20100710 and 20100722, both have the same behaviour. I'm
trying to recompile 1.98-1 which seems the last one I had working
(looking at dpkg.log). Unfortunately rebuilding the package seems to
enter a loop and builds the sources over and over without ever building
the packages.
For now I'm running with grub-legacy chain-loading grub2 and I'm looking
for how to further debug the issue.
P.S.: grub-legacy's grub-install is not quite happy with that hd0,msdos1
partition, had to install that manually from grub shell.
Thanks
Mattia
