I had the same issue. I had the linux-server package installed which had the linux- image-2.6.31-19-server installed.
But since I'm running ubuntu on a ESX Vm I tried to install the linux- virtual package. Aptitude tried to install the linux- image-2.6.31-19-virtual but didn't succeed. This happend because linux- image-2.6.31-19-virtual tries to overwrite the files in /boot/*-2.6.31-19-server. I had to install an other version of the linux virtual image boot in it and uninstall all the linux-image-*-server package and then install the latest linux virtual image. I think tha the linux virtual image should try to create its own files in /boot/ like for instance *-2.6.31-14-virtual.
