When I try to purge old linux image:

Why do you need to force things? This may be a clue.

What package manager do you use and why don't you use it to remove this?

[snip]
Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

And stop here. Only I can do is to press Ctrl+C
then result is:
dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7 (--purge):
subprocess post-removal script killed by signal (Interrupt)
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7


/var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7.list is empty file
