FYI, there is a debian-laptop mailing list that might be able to provide better help for laptop specific problems. I am not speaking from experience but have you tried the rescue1440tecra images? If I recall the Toshiba's and IBM's seem to suffer from a problem described in the README.tecra file that is in the disk directory on the archive.
