I've a system with a i5 2520m (Intel Sandybridge) and written down a few notes about it in the Debian wiki. http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Dell/LatitudeE6420/squeeze In short, as other people all ready wrote, you'll have to use at least the kernel from backports (2.6.39 currently) but I guess you'll also need the X.org backport (thanks to KiBi for providing it). The most annoying part is the requirement of a new kernel+non-free to get at least ethernet working. After that it's a lot easier to get the rest going.
