This error message is your actual problem. What is the mount point for / and /boot ? mount | grep " /\(boot\)\?

To solve your problem, you will have to adjust the content of the file /boot/grub/device.map Mine looks like : (hd0) /dev/sda The disk device (sda) [not a partition like sda1], must be the "first" disk device, as seen by the bios at boot time. > subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 [..] > dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6-amd64 (--configure): > dependency problems - leaving unconfigured linux-image-2.6-amd64 depends on linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64, which has just failed to be configured. Therefore dpkg complains that linux-image-2.6-amd64 can't be configured because it depends on a package (linux-image-2.6.26-1-amd64) that couldn't be configured. This isn't a "dependency problem". This is a "postinst" (post-installation) script problem, due to grub failing to configure. Franklin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
