You need to upgrade your kernel before you can upgrade to etch. Replace
your ancient woody kernel with a newer one from sarge.

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.
