Can I have 2.6.x kernel?

how can I get it?

I ran a 2.6 kernel when I ran Sarge. In fact, Etch's release notes tell
you to be using a 2.6 kernel before you upgrade. Just use your usual
package manager and search for the 2.6 kernel meta-package.

However, note that there are huge differences in module handling between
2.4 and 2.6. A more considered opinion would require us to know why you
are still using old-stable (Sarge, 3.1) instead of stable (Etch, 4.0).
