I have put 2.6 on a DEll 4000 including sound.
I don't have the directions or laptop any more. If I recall I got

Dear User Group:
I have not been able to completely install Debian Linux
successfully on a Dell Inspiron 4000 laptop. The main
hindrance seems to be the video chip/card which is an
ATI RAGE MOBILITY M3 AGP 2X LF.
The installation was attempted with the Potato 2.2
CD set. Almost everything except

Hope this helps.
