Adding the sources.list for etch won't really help. If you're just
trying to get to *any* 2.6, you could add the "sarge backports" repo
but that'd only take you up to 2.6.18.

"deb http://archive.debian.org/backports.org sarge-backports main
contrib non-free"

and then "apt-get -t sarge-backports install kernel-image-2.6-686"

If you want to go newer than that and stay with sarge... that's a bit
more of an adventure. Especially with all the supporting software that
you'll want to change. What exactly are you trying to sovle?
