You can patch and rebuild your kernel with a patch from here:
http://bootsplash.de/
More info on bootsplash can be found here:
http://bootsplash.org
or get Kano's latest 2.6.7 kernel as it is already patched.
http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-2.6.7-kanotix.zip
echo "deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update && apt-get install sysv-rc-bootsplash bootsplash kernel-patch-bootsplash bootsplash-theme-debian-tux
When you configure bootsplash selcet 'none'
Allow bootsplash to configure startup scripts? 'YES'
Edit your boot loader.
A grub example:
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.7-kanotix root=/dev/hda1 ro splash=silent vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.splash
savedefault
boot
A lilo example:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd.splash
append="splash=silent"
vga=791
voila!

Are Knoppix and Kanotix kernels interchangeable?

I would presume so but I cannot verify. I can however confirm that Kano's kernel does work w/ a debbootstrap installation.

I think it was 2.6.2 from kanotix I installed on knoppix 3.3 with Kano's script. Worked like a charm. Can't say about K3.4.

Kano's kernel were indeed very interchangeable for knoppix3.3. Not, so for knoppix3.4.
The kernel module configuration differences caused problems with ide/atapi devices and I was no longer able to mount cd's etc... This is only for my hardware. The problem seemed to centre around the ide-cd -de-scsi modules.
