My fault. Sorry to bother you people! 1 At first I tried booting with DOS and using some partitioning tool to create a Linux partition which worked fine with that tool. Then I repeated booting Debian and the message "unknown partition table" didn't appear anymore, but the new partition was shown. Anyway, the boot process was hanging again, on the same point.
2 Now I started to play around and changed the Interrupts of some cards in my BIOS (what I should have done first, I guess). Now, Debian is booting fine. Since I had enabled the ATA controller in my BIOS, another Interrupt was needed. The controller was sharing an interrupt with some network device which obviously caused some conflict so that somehow the hard disk was recognized but caused the boot process to stock.
