You need to upgrade your kernel before you can upgrade to etch. Replace your ancient woody kernel with a newer one from sarge. > Anyone know a way around this so I can to get the kernel upgraded? Download a sarge kernel, e.g. this one: http://archive.debian.net/sarge/kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686 and all its dependencies. Install the packages with dpkg -i, update your bootloader and reboot. If you run into dependency problems, point your sources.list to sarge: deb http://archive.debian.org/debian/ sarge main Then, after "apt-get update" you can install a sarge kernel without problems.
