Bug#336730: Prints error when no kernel is installed

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-18
Severity: minor

I just temporarily removed my kernel package and when grub-update was
run, I got:

| Ok, proceeding with removing running kernel image.
| Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
| Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst .
| Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...
| /bin/ls: /boot/vmlinuz-*: No such file or directory

It would be nice if 'ls' was used in a way that no error is shown when
/boot/vmlinuz-* doesn't exist, e.g. "ls -1 /boot | grep ^vmlinuz-" or
something.
