What kind of system is it?

Why do not you try netinstall CD available:
http://pateam.esiee.fr/cd-images/testing/

(it is small about 70Mb)

Or the last Debian Woody 3.0 just release (see www.debian.org where to 
download) (but bigger size)

Normaly I test netinstall CD (with a more recent kernel) and it boot 
well with on the graphical screen of my b180. (I hope to test the new 
Debian next week).
