You can edit
/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64.postinst and place
a "set -x" call in the second line of the file and then rerun
"apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64" to see what's going
on and why it's actually failing. (I bet it's related to executing
the update-grub hook.) HTH

Yes, it does appear to be related to grub. It can't find the drive. I've
pushed this to support, hopefully they can get this fixed soon. 

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
