It must be related to my bios, it's a triffle old (circa 2001), it thinks 
it is a 120 Gb disk (and it is 160). Linux sees it complete, no problem; I 
can even boot plain dos from it. But grub doesn't see it at all! I have my 
/boot partition on another HD, because till the kernel boots that HD is 
inexistent.
