gimlith, did you check the md5sum of the KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file on the zip drive vs the md5sum of the file you copied? I had a lot of problems with that. If those md5sums don't match, it won't work. I think sometimes all of the data isn't put on the zip drive correctly.
I've read here that you need version 1.6C of loadlin to boot the 2.4.x linux kernels (dsl 0.8.3 uses 2.4.2). What version of loadlin are you using?
Could you also tell us what was in you batch file? Perhaps it's something in the settings. If you do get it to work, I'd love to see the settings you used. I have no more drivers for windows to use my zip drive, or I'd give it a go. I read that loadlin only works from a real dos boot, not an XP or 2000 window. Can you make a win98 boot floppy and try from that?
I also see from other posts on the forums(booting dsl from DOS and booting with loadlin especially) that booting with loadlin isn't always easy or straightforward. See what you can get from those posts and search the forums for loadlin using the search button (choose all forums and from the beginning to see all of them).
