My understanding (or lack of) is:
1. When you mount a partition or run fsck, the current system time is written
to the partition's superblock.
2. When you access that partition again, the program (mount, fsck, ...)
compare the superblock's time with the system time, and if they're too
different, complains.
Therefore, when you run fsck from Knoppix, Knoppix's system time goes to the
superblocks. When Debian tries to mount the partitions, mount complains
because the recorded time is too different from the current system time.
What do you have to do ? fsck from *Debian* and not Knoppix. Or, better still,
set Knoppix system time to the correct value *before* mounting any partitions
on your hard drives.
hmmm.... that's interesting, but... I did fsck from debian as well.
also, first time into knoppix, BEFORE any mounting (I use knoppix 2 boot
cmd) I did fsck and it found errors on partitions that should have been
clean already. Although I gather, from what you wrote below, if its a
systime issue, then clean Deb partitions will be dirty knoppx
partitions. And that makes some sense, but as I said, I've done fsck
from deb before a reboot with same problem...
I'll check it out however.
grrr, argh

I think its a e2fsprogs issue. what version are you running?
It doesn't look like it to me.

so with totally clean partitions from Knoppix, I still get errors. Some
of those partitions were never mounted in knoppix either and should not be
generating this error as no new mount time should be written.
But if you ran fsck on them, they'll have been "tainted" by Knoppix. If the
system times are different, clean partitions to Knoppix will have the effect
of making them appear "dirty" to Debian.
My knowledge doesn't go much farther than this. I hope it suffices to explain
and solve your problem.
