Exclamation Error - Linux kernel can not be configured, happens every time I run synaptic?


Every time I run the package manager whether it be for updates, install, or anything else, I get an error during that states that is is attempting to recover from a package failure than at the end that the linux-kernel-(whichever version is most current) and also linux-kernel-generic can not be configured because of some sort of "preprocess"? Kind of Vague but any ideas?? I'm bewildered as to why it wouldn't just reconfigure when it goes through the update each time? It seems to try pretty hard my computer freezes everytime while it's attempting to because it maxes out the CPU.. Could having older kernels installed cause this problem by chance?

Thanks in advance for any help.

So I just ran it to get the exact error to include.. Failed to run depmod dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 And the same again for linux-image-2.6.35-27-generic.. Ideas? Thanks!
