Ok - You really have only one linux-image-* package installed and you've
installed it directly, i.e. it was not installed as a dependency of a
meta-package.

Very Good. I would suggest that you install linux-image-2.6-686 or
linux-image-686, which depend on linux-image-2.6.32-3-686. That way you
will get kernel updates in the future and don't run into this mess
again.

You can then reboot into the new kernel and remove the obsolete
linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686 package.

You might also want to trim your posts and interleave your answers.
Welcome to the list. :)
