When I'm running update-grub get following output:

Generating grub.cfg ...
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-26-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-26-generic
Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-25-generic
Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-25-generic

Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.5.0-17-generic
Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
done

Why are there three images listed?

I've read "grub shows same linux image twice" too. This hasn't solved my problem.

Content of my /etc/grub.d/ is:

$ ls -l

I was able to find this by some googling:

current=`uname -r` && uninstall="" && for version in `dpkg -l linux-image* | grep ii | awk '{ print $2}'`; do if [[ "$version" < "linux-image-$current" ]]; then uninstall=$uninstall" $version"; fi; done && sudo apt-get purge $uninstall -y && sudo update-grub2

It removes old kernels and updates grub. This solved my problem.
