This lists both 2.6.32-5 and 3.2.0-2 kernels.
What kernel version do you try to boot, and is its initramfs updated?
By default only most recent kernel does have initramfs updated when updating
packages.
Your setup has many moving parts that can go wrong.
Please list versions of mdadm, dmsetup, libdevmapper*, *cryptsetup*

You are using mixed system, packages may have bugs in their depends, so that
manual updating or bug reporting is maybe needed.
