That can be explained because the installed kernel is currently not the 
same as that used by the installer when installing testing.

You should be able to solve that by using the rescue mode of the installer 
(boot using 'rescue'). You will be asked to select the partition that has 
the root filesystem of the installed system.
After that, the best thing to do is switch to VT2, 'chroot /target', mount 
other filesystems you need (you need at least 'mount none /sys -t sysfs', 
and of course /boot, /usr, etc. if these are separate).
Then, download (wget) the 2.6.16 kernel image package from unstable and 
install it using 'dpkg -i <package name>'.

Not really needed, unless you have other issues you'd like to report. If 
not, just follow up to this one.

Cheers,
