Thank you very much for that valuable information. I have also tried to boot with the bf24 image. With the same result. This confirms Mr. Winter's answer.
However, I did NOT try what sfdisk says when using the bf24 image.
I will try that this week-end and post the result here (if it differs).
May it be possible that only an instable (2.5.xx) kernel works here ?
Does someone know were I could find :
- if the problem has been already been solved ?
- if so, in which kernel version ?
Thank you !

Sounds like the kernel is not able to read the full disk. 160GB is
larger than old-style IDE hardware can address, and so older kernels
will not support it. I'm not sure if the 2.4.18 kernel available on
the Woody install CDs will work here, but it's worth a try. At the
boot prompt when starting the installation off CD, use "bf24" and see
if that helps.
