Can you check if this is still an issue with the 2.6.18 kernel from 
unstable?
You should be able to upgrade the kernel using the rescue mode of the 
installer (boot the installer with "rescue").

You should probably also be able to get your system to boot by installing 
the 486 flavor of the kernel (that is also the kernel the installer 
uses); for this you could reinstall the system in expert mode.
That would at least give you a working kernel to fall back to.
