It was a *hardware* problem. The problem occured only with DMA activated for harddisks and the Knoppix kernel doesn't do this by default. (It was a bit strange, because it happend only when writing to disk while having high network traffic, even after switching NIC and IDE controler.) I've exchanged the mainboard and now everything is working perfectly.
