This error seems to indicate the drive has a capacity that is not a multiple of 1024 bytes, which is...odd. Might be somthing quirky about the hardware.
So after getting it to run in rescue, it loaded fine except for not connecting to wifi.
I suspect its the laptop modem. Any chance you know of a driver that might kick everything into gear?
