Your location? You can see what most codes require for your location here.

You don't have a lot of room for either ventilation or insulation. Kneewalls are tough to insulate. Look at rigid insulation on top of the roof deck and air permeable insulation between the rafters. See: A Crash Course in Roof Venting. Here's a real world example.

greenhomebuildingadvisor.com and buildingscience.com are both great sources for more and specific information. GBA will have specific building details.
