HI Erik.  Here's how I would fix it:

#innhold {
   background: white;
   float: left;
   width: 730px;
   margin-right: -729px; /*added with 1 px short of width for IE6*/
   clear: left; /*added*/
}

#kolonne {
   background: white;
   float: right;
   width: 220px;
   clear: right; /*added*/
}

I have a couple suggestions too:

1.  Widths:  you only need to specify widths on the containers.  Nothing 
inside needs a width since it will automatically fill the container. 
I'd take all the widths out except for the ones on the containers since 
they will only cause trouble like the big horizontal scrollbar you 
currently have.

2.  Borders:  I see you have things like this in your source -

<div class="line3_i"><!-- --></div>
<div id="h_news"><!-- --></div>
<div class="line3_i"><!-- --></div>
<div class="red_line_i"><!-- --></div>
<div class="line3_i"><!-- --></div>

To make it easier to deal with, more semantic, and not to mention search 
engine friendlier why don't you do something like this:

<div id="h_news"><img src="path-to-news-image.gif" alt="News"></div>
<hr />

CSS:

#h_news {
   border-top: solid 1px gray;
   border-bottom: solid 1px gray;
   background-color: black;
}
hr {
   height: 5px;
   background-color: red;
   color: red; /*for IE*/
   border-bottom: solid 1px gray;
}
