Whilst I was luckily enough to decide not to install the vritualisation stuff this also happened to a friend of mid who did not. I think the default is to enable the virtualisation option, and in this case he ended up with ONLY the Xen kernel. This caused all sorts of problems and in the end I recommended reinstalling but turning of the virtualisation stuff. This fixed all the issues he was having (sorry, I cannot recall the issues). So it seems to me that 1) the virtual stuff is on by default when I think it should be off and 2) also ONLY Xen kernel is installed when selected, when the nob-Xen kernel should really be installed as well.
