Hi!

Here it is (french localization):

Suppression de linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 ...
Examining /etc/kernel/postrm.d .
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postrm.d/initramfs-tools 2.6.32-3-amd64

/usr/sbin/grub-probe : erreur :  cannot find a device for /boot (is /dev 
mounted?).

dpkg : erreur de traitement de linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 (--remove) :

de sortie d'état 1

Actually, this output is repeated for each linux-image to be removed or 
to be installed, which means for any change in grub kernels list, I suppose.

Thanks a lot.
