Testing for broken bios

Is there a command I'm missing to print the int 13 information provided by the bios to diagnose possible errors? I have a user on the Ubuntu forums that is getting an "error: out of disk" and rescue shell. Looking at the code it seems this would be caused by a partition being outside the disk, but that does not appear to be the case. The only other explanation I can come up with is that the bios is reporting the wrong size for the disk, but I'm not sure how to test for this.
