Using Google I found out that I have to add ramdisk_size=10000 to the
kernel-options. After doing that the system now boots. It is slow, has
no framebuffer and I have to find a way to get rid of all the
knoppix-artwork. I hope this will keep me busy or some time and I can do
all of it comfortabely from Gentoo. Now I have finally apt-get, emerge
and yast running at the same time!
Thanks for all your help.

Greeting,
I finally managed to install Debian. I used
knoppix-installer-latest-web from KNOPPIX 3.9.[1] It was somewhat
easier and with 20 minutes much faster that Gentoo (8 hours) or even
SuSE (2 hours). I skipped the setup for lilo as I already have grub
from Gentoo. I tried to add the following to grub.conf:
title Debian GNU/Linux
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 splash=silent
resume=/dev/hda2
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd.img
It is a mixture of what I used for SuSE, Debian and the lilo.conf from
Debian. When I try to boot I get a kernel panic: Could not mount root
fs on block xxx. This happens beore the framebuffer is initialised. I
used reiserfs for the partition. Does anyone know what I have to do to
get it working?
[1] Steve, the DVDs you gave me are unfrotunatly for ia64 not amd64.
