The issue I mentioned was with the alternate installer, and only would have been
an issue with the Server Edition CD (since that CD tries to install the -server
kernel if it can).

The originally reported issue is not likely due to a problem with the installer.
The -generic kernel should not cause this issue, and (as far as I am aware) the
desktop CD should ship with the -generic kernel.

In short: this is a problem with the -generic kernel, as far as I am aware.
