I believe that the most recent KNOPPIX uses a 2.6-kernel, which in 
general has better hardware support, including SATA. The default kernel 
in Debian Stable is 2.4.27

Did you try installing Debian using a 2.6-kernel?
Boot like this:
Press F1 for help, or Enter to boot: linux26

That will give you a 2.6.8 kernel.
